DUCKTAIL (TWO PHOTOGRAPHS)

27 Comments

This back view of the wood duck made me think of the ducktail, a haircut that was popular in the 50s. You don’t necessarily have to get your subject face on to get a decent shot. I liked the duck’s puffed up chest in the second photo too, as if his “do” wasn’t enough to impress the ladies😊.

    As an aside: those ducktail haircuts were actually ‘tame’ compared with what became fashionable later. Even the Beatle’s look neatly trimmed by comparison 🙂
