He's wearing a Beret

OK, that settles it. I am getting a beret. I'd always thought that every chapeau has its moment; its particular 'age':

In infancy, the bonnet
In adolescence, the sports helmet
In extended adolescence, the baseball cap
In respectable maturity, the fedora
In disreputable maturity, the beret

I had been swanning about in a fedora, waiting for my beret moment to arrive.
Alas, as is increasingly the case with so many things in life, I appear to be past it.

I'm getting a beret.

A fantastic month, G. This one actually looks more like Colleen's work than yours, but as I'm a fan of you both, I'm happy either way.

Well, by now you know what I'm going to say, so I don't need to say it. (hic!)

Thanks for a month full of most excellent surprises, Andi.

Yep, I agree. I think it's because they exist somewhere in the never-never land, between abstract and not quite. I love looking at them more than once because they change with the moment.

Thanks for all the images and the comments, Trevor.

Innocent, eh? Yeah, that's what they all say. Listen, Hopp ... we can do this the hard way, or the easy way. We know you made this photograph, with these amazing bronzy tones! It's got your fingerprints all over it. So you might as well make it easy on yourself and come clean. How'd you get that transcendent toning?

Wilson? Is that you?
I thought this guy drowned when he fell of Tom Hanks's raft?

Oh God, this photograph is just getting better and better as it is itself aging! I am thrilled that so many have been moved to think and write with such feeling about this extraordinary photograph.

Beret? Is he wearing a beret? I hope so. I have about 50 hats (honestly) and not one beret. I was waiting to get old enough ... maybe I have waited too long?

Very cool shot of a shot. I love those cars!

I had (still have) the impression that he is relatively still and the scene is revolving about him.

A clutch of spent flowers pressed between parchment pages, and thus made immortal. Lovely.
