Advanced Style

These dapper fellows remind me of my impeccably dressed grandfather Hal. Hal always wore a crisp, brightly colored button down shirt, and matching sweater. He would also coordinate his socks and belt to go with the rest of his outift. I hope to one day be as stylish as these awesome gents above.

I do audio work, but when I went to a site to interview people I met this man. I was so impressed with him that I had to return with a camera. He is Greek, and has an impossibly long last name, so most people call him Mr. Chris. He also says he has nicknames of Mr. Hollywood (He lives in the Hollywood Apartments) and the Mayor of Chicago.

The first time I met him he was wearing black slacks and a bright red blazer over a sequined red and black sweater and a smashing fedora. These photos are from our second meeting. He tells such great stories about the restaurants he used to own and even some about dating Mae West.
