Kim as Heavenly Body

darkroomdays13

Back in my darkroom days, and before Photoshop, I used to do fun things like this.

Kim is actually in my swimming pool.  The technique you see here is called solarization, but with dodging around her head.  The “stars” are actually sand sprinkled on the photo paper during the second exposure.

Steely Dan

They were just hanging out at the beach in San Diego.  I didn’t even recognize them until months later, looking through my album art.

This was around Summer 1978.

Martin Mull

I was able to meet Mr. Mull in college when my friend Karen, who was a singing Playboy bunny, hired herself to go up on stage and present him a greeting from his local fan club (which was her).  She brought me along to photograph the event.

It went over so well he asked if she could do it again for the second show.  So between shows we hung out with him backstage, and he talked about the early days when he and Steve Martin were a comedy team (Steve Martin Mull).

Jim Stafford

This is Jim Stafford.  I interviewed and photographed him for my college paper.

What a decent, down-to-earth, talented guy.  He now has one of those theaters in Branson, Missouri.

Jess At Rest

My daughter Jessie and I both have a somewhat morbid sense of humor.

This was taken in the Pecan Grove Cemetery in McKinney, Texas.
