I don't know if I'd call it "wondrous", but the upload history of Corn cheese (T-C-L) certainly paints a picture. A rather sad one.
He's uploaded two more this month. I haven't checked whether any of his uploads is in use anywhere outside Commons.
This guy has uploaded a LOT of new images since Sept '21, all of them equally wondrous.

I know that I've completely gone off the deep end because I was laughing hysterically at this guy's file upload history. This is just extremely, extremely funny to me.

In his Burberry, in his Burberry…
Hey, my eyes weren't fooling me. The images look the same to me now, after someone fixed the fair use version because the previous version had "low chroma"
No coffee? OK, then maybe just a little appreciation for my work out here?

This is wondrous, but will probably disappear from commons soon.

Image

From the file name and category, this is Canadian model James Lam, presumably taken by fashion photographer Greg Swales. It was uploaded by Subestro (T-C-L), who created a bio for James Ochan Lam. It was speedily deleted shortly thereafter.

TIL that if you want to find hats like this online, you have to type "wide brim bucket hat" into Google Images, not "large bucket hat" or "oversized bucket hat."

Or "rain hat". Although that won't bring up the designer stuff as the first hits:

I'm not so sure about "surprised".... "Shocked and horrified" seems like the more appropriate term...

But check it out, it's on sale at Jomashop for less than $300 bucks! :smiling:

(You can also get one on eBay for $115, but I wouldn't advise that since overpaying is the whole point.)

I know this all seems rather silly, but this particular hat would be a useful piece of safety gear for when you go to a movie and want to shield yourself from germs in the "breath cloud" coming from the person(s) seated behind you in the theater.

This isn't wondrous, but it did leave me wondering, is Tom Schueller (T-H-L) getting younger?

Media in category "Tom Schueller"
Category Tom Schueller.png
After doing a search for the image on the left, I found out it's actually Robert Osterhaus (T-H-L). It's been mislabeled for 12 years.

Shit happens. This link horrifying image from the Civil War was mislabeled for about 140 years.

the image I am using here as an avatar was attributed originally to both a 19th-century Italian painter and another artist of the same name born in 1992, which would have been a copyright problem
