This is such a cool picture. I put together a color version for you.

[–]Eriiatarka[S] 10 points11 points ago

Wow, I am in awe! Thank you so much, it is beautiful!

[–]Knikkz 219 points220 points ago

Looks like it could be a movie poster or something. Such a great picture. If I were you, I'd get it framed.

[–]davvik 50 points51 points ago

Take this advice. I can guarantee you won't regret it.

[–]rhymeswithdoorhinge 49 points50 points ago

Regardless of OP, I'm getting it framed and putting it in my house.

[–]maxcaliburx 16 points17 points ago

Don't get it tattooed though, you will regret it

[–]NagisaK 18 points19 points ago

Don't know why but the movie "Casablanca" came into my mind.

[–]gattofila 27 points28 points ago

The Great Gatsby!

[–]ElKaBongX 18 points19 points ago

Suit... Check Black & White... Check

Obviously Casablanca

[–]Triedd 15 points16 points ago

Hell, I'm thinking about getting it framed.

...great photograph.

[–]Peaceblaster86 2 points3 points ago

North by Northwest, anyone?

[–]tordenkalven 29 points30 points ago

Why is there some kind of white 'glow' around him?

[–]brashed 53 points54 points ago

That's from the process in the enlarger used to make the print. The part of the photo where he stands was likely darker than the rest of the print and so he would have exposed the background for more time than himself (dodging). The white glow is what the rest of the image would look like if the whole thing was exposed for the same amount of time.

[–]invalid_password 3 points4 points ago

I was gonna say good pic - Sacre Coeur (white stone) is not over exposed and he is in the shade - so great exposure latitude.

PROTIP: if you Muricans would dress like that in Paris you would have a better time. Lose those big white shoes, eh?

[–]vmulber 10 points11 points ago

Your dapper daddy had damn crappy dodging

[–]lifehacked 12 points13 points ago

One hell of a crappy dodge

[–]Iambillslefthand 2 points3 points ago

no kidding. ever heard of getting a piece of black mat board and using that?

[–]mgh245 68 points69 points ago

Exceptionally classy.

[–]ARasool 10 points11 points ago

If I do say so myself, this man is awesomely charismatic.

[–]Red_Dawn_2012 2 points3 points ago

Is there room for two on this boat?

[–]valkyrio 15 points16 points ago

Thoughts that make me feel bad:

The '50s were over 60 years ago...how could he have unexpectedly passed away?

[–]NativityCrimeScene 5 points6 points ago

I regretfully thought the same thing.

[–]eddiemads 0 points1 point ago

Thought the same thing. Probably looking for some karma.

[–]jesq 28 points29 points ago

TIL your dad was a dapper motherfucker.

[–]Tankylosaurus 20 points21 points ago

That's one stone cold continental pimp.

[–]Tangled2 110 points111 points ago

Dude looked like he was 30 back in the 50s, how unexpected could his death really have been?

[–]OldTrailmix 28 points29 points ago

You killed him, didn't you?

[–]big_ander 67 points68 points ago

Say he was 30 and this is from 1955, then he was born in '25 and would have been 86 last year. At 86 a person will surely have general health problems but if they aren't diagnosed or aren't major problems then you would not be anticipating their death. Of course you would know it would happen eventually, but your reaction to hearing "your 86 year old father with no diagnosed medical condition passed away" would not be "okay sure that makes sense."

As a further example, my grandfather is 85. Plays tennis every day, is amazingly fit, has no major medical problems. If he died it would be unexpected.

In summary: unexpectedly =/= inconceivably.

[–]Eriiatarka[S] 9 points10 points ago

Passed away from a heart attack. He was very healthy his whole life.

[–]post_post_modernism 8 points9 points ago

Exactly what I thought. how old was this guy in 2011?

[–]Eriiatarka[S] 14 points15 points ago

77

[–]j_lane 8 points9 points ago

your dad was a suave bastard.

[–]fruitdrank 3 points4 points ago

He is one dapper gentleman.

[–]theampersand 14 points15 points ago

He is positively glowing.

[–]bufuman 4 points5 points ago

your dad was harvey specter?

[–]kidintheshadows 5 points6 points ago

Based solely on that pic, I thought it was Lieve Schreiber.

[–]Goldie643 7 points8 points ago

Your father was....Harrison Ford? I kid, Looking damn fine I must say!

[–]dasher11 2 points3 points ago

I immediately thought Harrison Ford, too. wolf whistle

[–]jaymeekae 3 points4 points ago

Whats that white glare around him? Looks like some kind of darkroom technique but I can't quite figure out what's gone on

[–]Fireye 8 points9 points ago

It's the old-school method of dodge and burn. You essentially intentionally overexpose a portion (in this case, the person), while leaving the rest of the exposure normal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodging_and_burning

This, when carefully and properly done, can lead to nearly imperceptible but huge enhancements to the overall visual quality.

[–]Oh_Butterscotch 3 points4 points ago

Harvey Specter?

[–]moosikerin 2 points3 points ago

[–]rocksandworms 2 points3 points ago

this is really beautiful, thank you for sharing

Where are all the men these days?

[–]Wolfvillite 1 point2 points ago

/r/LadyBoners would appreciate this

[–]KazamaSmokers 3 points4 points ago

Moments later he left to report to M.

[–]goofymilk 2 points3 points ago

"Missed it by that much!

[–]dipset33 2 points3 points ago

Why are his surroundings all whited out?

Is this shopped?

[–]All_Tan_Everything 6 points7 points ago

No, that is an effect of the print-making process. His father must have been rather dark in the original, so to solve this they exposed that part of the photosensitive print paper for longer than the rest of the photo. However, they did it rather poorly, and also exposed the area around the father for longer as well. The result is too-white whites in the perimeter around the father.

[–]Weed86 2 points3 points ago

.... and nailing chicks by the look of it.

[–]Bubblesthekid 2 points3 points ago

Was your father James Bond??

[–]Binnie62 2 points3 points ago

Very dashing.

[–]Assbeater 2 points3 points ago

all I will say is he looked fucking good

[–]FigNag 1 point2 points ago

Looks like he's coming through from the 5th dimension or something.

[–]broohaha 0 points1 point ago

Dapper Dan Dad!

[–]jerclayphoto 0 points1 point ago

I love the manual work used to burn in the background. Notice the 'halo' around him? The person who developed it most likely didn't want to underexpose your father and left the 'normal' exposure halo while blocking out the background and subjecting the paper to less light (er..or something. I haven't developed my own images in a long time, but this is pretty accurate).

[–]senorbeast 1 point2 points ago

He probably got so much 50's pussy. Alpha as fuck!

That is an amazing photo, really emotive, exceptionally classy, and wonderfully framed. Your old man was a great photographer.

Any idea where the photo was taken? If you could go there and take a photo of yourself dressed the same way, same pose etc, it would be awesome - provided the place is still there.

[–]Treeflower 0 points1 point ago

Great picture, except that he didn't quite get the exposure correct. Note that the area all around your father is bright white. That's because when the photo was developed, he was very dark in comparison to his surroundings. It was only by "dodging" your father and "burning" the rest of the image that it became a decent shot. He should have checked the lighting around the place more and recognized that his background was far brighter than his foreground. Source: photo class lulz.

Btw, it's still a fucking sweet photo. I just wanted to make sure I still knew shit.
