The pictures come from a article written by Bert Kay. Unfortuantly Bert died a few years back according to the link at the bottom.  The man making the drink in the pics died as well. 
The whole thing seems kinda sad.  Its weird seeing articles written by people that are now gone.

This is my little homage to Bert and his dad, and the drink that lives on--The Wiskey Sour.

This Drink of the Month is in honor of my dad who died recently. The sequence of pictures shows the proper steps (and attitude) in creating a Whiskey Sour, one of my Mom's most-frequently requested drinks. These pictures are from Christmas 1985.

Here we see the setup. The lemons have been squeezed and the liquor (in this case Canadian Club) is going in the measuring glass. Dad usually used two and a half ounces of whiskey for each drink along with one lemon and two to three teaspoons of sugar.

Now we are shaking. Concentration is key in this step.

And now the finish. The glasses have been set out and the strainer stands ready. Notice the look of satisfaction and anticipation on Dad's face. Makes me kind of thirsty just looking at this scene.

Thank you Bert, and thank you to your dad.  May your memories and alcoholism live on forever through the internet and the people who use it.
