Clueless In Boston is contributing this picture of George Moody, Owner of Harmon Oil Company in Quincy. George has kept our burner and hot water heater working for many years. I think the monochrome works beautifully for this portrait taken in the dim lighting of our basement. Click here to view more Monochrome Monday images.

Nice serious man.He's cool!
Great photo!
It gave me a flash-back to the portraits of people 50 years ago - ell done!
RuneE is correct - a truly classic image. Bring back Life Mag or our Picture Post.
Not to mention Creative Camera.
It does work beautifully - great tribute to a dedicated man!
This photo looks like it could be out of a movie from the 1940's. Perfect use of black and white. Stunning!
Very good monochrome photo.
This is a superb portrait. You've capture something extraordinary here, the essence of his humanity. It is very, very beautiful.

I don't think I would be able to take such a good picture in my basement!!
another perfect inspiration for a story!
Looks like an old photo.
Great portrait shot. Well done.
Interesting portrait of a working guy. B&W goes well with the setting.
What a great shot. Does George know that he's famous now?
It looks like a old photo. Great portrait.
kden - I left George a note at his place of business telling him he's a star. We previously gave him a copy of the photo pictured here . . . it's a "keeper". Thanks for sharing your comments everyone.
I know this guy he has done some plumbing work at my house on occassion. He does good work.
