Really funny. My first thought was Photoshop (okay, in 1980 it might have been hand retouching). But they're not the same picture. The "hat" one shows a lot more of the right-hand side of his neck in the sun. More of the grandstand roof is visible (at his hairline, over his back shoulder) in the "hat" one, also.

Huh, I never noticed that before.
ReplyDeleteHaha. That's pretty good. Carlton really looks like he is excited to be having his photo taken.
ReplyDeletevery interesting . . . I wonder which picture was taken first ?

ReplyDeleteNice catch!
The one WITH his hat on must have been taken first, because of the major hat hair he has in the first one. <---scientific analysis
