Great capture - funny "antique washing machine"! He looks like all his good clothes must be in the laundry :-) Nice bright lighting and sharpness.

Thanks, Denise. There's a back-story (isn't there always?).
I was shooting old carriage houses in a colorful alley when this guy comes out & gives me the fish-eye. I thought *my gawd it's Joe deRita* (the last Stooge) I have to shoot him. He comes up & asks if I'm an antique dealer (half of Hudson is antique stores & half the dealers have grey beards like yours truly). Of course I said yes so he went in & dragged out this old "antique washing machine". I told him I needed to get a picture of it to show my partner. Photogs are so devious, aren't we? ;-)

Jp, this is wonderful!! The title is a crack up ;-)) I love his expression.
