More of this week's entries over at Sepia Saturday.

Original
I can't find an image in my collection that's quite right to illustrate this week's Sepia Saturday theme so here's something completely different.
It's not so much the image that takes my fancy (although the subject looks like a nice, confident young man), it's the written message on the back that does: With best wishes from the original.

I suppose you could claim that is a (police) whistle on the end of the chain.
Love it! What a great sense of humor. You can almost see him laughing in the photo.
Hmm, the original, huh? That's funny!
Taking a closer look at the photo I noticed what looks like the face of a lion or something on the corner of the table. Never seen anything like that before. Now that's original!
I always wonder about men's fashion in those days. In particular about the waist band. How far up does it go, just below the armpits? :)
In any case, I had to smile about the name he gave himself.
Does that mean there was only the one photo? What was his alternative? "Best wishes from a reasonable facsimile!"
He's almost kind of spooky for me, he reminds me of my junior and high school boyfriend...not the clothes and all, but his eyes, and cheeks and his hair! Wow...it could be a very distant relative!
His message tells quite a bit about his self-perception. He must have been creative and free-thinking.
My guess is the "original" did NOT become the "ultimate".

P.S. Wibbo, I have a photo of my black cat Gilbert that greatly resembles the close-up in your profile shot!
