Cree Cantrell/Don Draper

this is my friend cree. his parents are good friends with my dad. we grew up together... him, his sister, me, and my brother. we use to have "fish fries" at my house and i remember them coming over. when we came inside to take a break from the heat after the first part of the photos, cree reminded me of the scar he has on his head from ryan accidentally hitting him in the head with a golf club. good times were had in the reaux household!

these photos were made because cree is entering the "cast yourself" contest put on by the show mad men on amc... contestants enter one photo of themselves impersonating one of the characters on the show. this.... is don draper! i'd never heard of the show until cree told me about it. it's set in the early 60's.

i need your help deciding which photo would be best to enter! the fist two were reproductions of actual photos of the character don draper... didn't realize until today as i read the rules that the top winners are judged by originality of the photo. so basically (if they make it that far... doubt it because we're behind on entering) they'd probably be overlooked. oh well! i had so much fun doing this regardless!

  1. Love the color best... I really like the very first picture posted. It has the whole Brady Bunch, Jetsons, 60's vibe to it with the straight line architecture in the background. :)

  2. I like the 2nd to the last one the best. The color is great and since every character on Mad Men smokes, the cigar is a great addition.

    Let me know which one you finally choose and when you submit it for the contest. :)

  6. oh my. AMAZING work.

    definitely love the first two, feeling like his face at that angle looks most like Don Draper.

    LOVE the colors on the second-to-last one. Think that's the winner. ;)
