and now for something a little more positive...

...beer.

I love beer. I love pictures of old breweries and brewery staff. Especially when one of them looks kind of like Walt Whitman.

"...a devil-may-care American workingman, one who might be taken as a somewhat idealized figure in almost any crowd."

While the portrait of Whitman at the beginning of Leaves of Grass may be idealized, it seems that the brewery employee in this picture is 100% bonafide.
