Description
Colorized photo from 1922, Feb 23
Original Title: Hooch Hound
Location: Maryland, Potomac River
When I originally saw this, I merely thought it was a guy with a cool looking pipe, and his dog fishing. But in reality this is about how they used dogs to sniff out booze during the prohibition days. Which is kind of funny actually.
Coloring this was straight forward. The deck and water had a sort of mold issue, but looking at it closely, the wood was the only part effected, the nails were didn't have that issue. The fade is only on the water. I figured the wood must be worn there and colored it as such.
