Mechanic, World War II


Another early color photograph by Alfred Palmer in rich early Kodachrome. The vein standing out on the mechanic's forehead and the rumpled service cover look just right. I've placed this at mechanic - other suggestions are welcome.

 * Comments:
 * The lighting on the man's face looks excessively bright (probably an effect of the lighting methods Palmer was using as I believe we've mentioned before). The is carried over onto areas of his shirt and reflections off the metal, none of which are appealing to me. It's sort of like bad flash glare, but I'm not sure it's actual flash. The vehicle appears to be tilted, which could be from the camera being tilted or from the other side of the vehicle being jacked up - given we can't see the whole vehicle we can't tell. Doesn't do it for me. --jjron (talk) 07:43, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
