Get your Sun in the morning

The Sun never sets in Austin

The Sun Also Sets.

These are the best, but I have scads more images — around 500 total (although many are near duplicates) and all the original negatives, but no film scanner yet, though I'm looking. These were scanned from smallish 2 x 3, 5 x 7 and a few 8 x 10-inch prints I made back then.

I always thought I might to do a book someday — I still may, which is why I'm not abandoning my copyrights or allowing these photographs to be reproduced elsewhere without permission. However, I did not and do not intend to have to write the thing, only illustrate it, so this may be it.

There will be more Sun shots here as I find time. I'll probably also go back and redo some of these as I get the hang of black & white again or start scanning the original 35mm film, which will be much less grainy.

Dan Hubig is helping me identify the people. Bill Hood and Danny Schweers also helped. I'd appreciate any other help with names or other pertinent information, like what those people wrote or did there.

My latest email address is always on the Contact page. If you were one of the Sunshine Boys or Girls when I was there, I'd love to hear from you.
