  Somehow he seems a little sad. His eyes are focusing something behind the photographer... maybe eternity? He puts up a smile, but is actually thinking about something completely else...

• roderickbodine said:

  A mechanic with a coin belt and conductor type hat??? The greasy shirt says "mechanic", but his accessories say "not". Maybe he was pulling double duties. Great photo anyway.

• greens n cornbread said:

  don't forget those were the days of full-service gas stations. I'd guess he pumped gas in addition to his mechanic duties. also, back then most service station attendants wore uniforms including peaked caps.
