Another DQ pic from Flikr

Is that you in one of those other DQ pictures?

I didn't see myself in one, but didn't really look. May be!

*RE: B/W DQ photos*

Hi, Bob & steamboating colleagues:
Many thanks for 'linking' to the DQ/MQ photos [c. 1970s]. Brought back many memories even for me being a 'wharf rat' on the sidelines. I find the photos 'DELTA QUEEN windlass' [capstan]. 'DELTA QUEEN cleat' excellent in photo composition, stark black/white, tone remarkable. Our 'pitcher man' has a keen eye ready for the right moment. The grizzled face of the man handling the lines in 'windlass' in profile classic.

Dorthea Frye, our late, dear friend and renowned river artist, could have done wonders painting these scenes in oil had she caught the vision then and there at the right time and place. Many thanks for the memories.

Is that "Doc" Karr in that photo?

No, Red Lunsford. I guess I should have put a bit more of a comment to it than just his name out to the side of the link.
