Photographer [Freddy Fabris](https://www.fabrisphoto.com/) had always wanted to pay homage to the Renaissance masters with his photos in some way, but he wasn’t sure how until he stumbled upon an auto-mechanic shop in the Midwest. This led to a brilliant series of funny portraits with auto mechanics.

How old are those photos? One of the guys is wearing a McDonnell Douglass jacket. They merged with Boeing on 1997. I can believe the jacket outlasted MacDac, but 22 years is a long time, especially for what appears to be a work jacket.
