I had a vintage photo of a sign painter sitting at a drafting table saved somewhere on my computer...can't find it.....Probably it was early 1900's.(the photo, not the computer) If anyone has something like this they might want to share, let me know, trying to incorporate it a layout. Thanks

I googled "sign painter" under Images, and there were heaps of options. Here was one entitled:

Tom..I think I remember something Doug Downie did in a tutorial in SignCraft a few years back. It was a silhouette kinda thing? Maybe it was Mike Jackson? Anyway maybe call one of them.

They are not photos of a sign painter at a drafting table, but Kimberly posted a few vintage sign painter pics over the years & I found both threads with a search on "SIGN PHOTOS" as the keywords under "SUBJECT ONLY" (as opposed to "entire message")and her member number of 2546
...but, I was sad to see only the red X
what surprised me was they had been uploaded to Letterville's own server at these 2 locations:
I can see when a member hosts their own images, we all run the risk of that member not having the bandwidth available to maintain hosting of said image for long term availability. I would have thought that hosting of images here would maintained indefinently.
So this is just a heads up on the chance that maybe there has been a change to the directory structure or the "path" that could interfere with finding numerous pics that are still being hosted, but not where old links are looking for them.
Here was one of Kimberly's pics I already had scanned & uploaded to my server previously:

Hi Tom, that black and white picture of an old man lettering a truck door is me at the letterhead meet in Detroit.

I finally found the photo I was looking for. If I could figure out how to post it, I would. Bill as far as the guy in the photo...that's an old guy, you're still a pup, at least in our eyes. Kathy and me miss talking to you. Come to the midwest.
