As I mentioned a few days ago on another thread, several years ago rms2 (who posts here) started a long running thread (on a forum that has ceased to be) about photos of our Y-DNA ancestors. There was never any serious limit on that, and in several cases the photos actually were of paintings -- the said ancestors having lived and died before the invention of photography. A number of people also did not limit themselves to the oldest male-line ancestor they could find, but posted photos of three or four generations, occasionally including themselves. As far as I recall, nobody posted photos of their sons and grandsons, but I don't see much reason why not. In principle, I also don't see why someone couldn't post Y-DNA lineage photos of a person other than himself (or herself, but bearing in mind that we are talking about Y-DNA).
Anyway, Maciamo said it would be OK to do this:

So, I propose to start this post (and, one hopes, this thread) with an older photo or two -- and come back to edit it later, adding subsequent generations. The oldest one I have is my gr-gr-grandfather, Jonathan Hulan (1797-1887). It includes his wife (sorry), and is in less than perfect condition; one can see that the corner tear has gone through his neck or chin. But it's better than nothing, for a person born in the 18th century:

Next I'll post a photo of his son, my gr-grandfather William A. Hulan (1842-1947), taken on his 97th birthday:
5612
Next photo was taken seven years later, by my dad, who captioned it. From left: my grandfather George H. Hulan, my brother David, William A. Hulan, and I am the skinny kid behind the post:

5613
More to come. Meanwhile, anybody else who is moved to start such a photo record here, feel free. Members of haplogroups other than R1b are welcome.
