Another look at my retrospective show
I wrote a bit about the show and lauded the impressive amount of work by the redoubtable Lincoln Turner, (it was he who made the show possible) but it seems I left out the views of the actual show. The comments in the guest book were terrifically complimentary, and there is a chance that other venues may want to host the show. It should be seen again. We’ll have to print even more of the March on Washington segment, and we will.
The retrospective, with as many photos as there were, was not at all complete. There were elements of my work that weren’t there or were under represented. Plans will soon be in place to enlarge the show and segment the disparate subjects into sections that could grouped to enable a set (or several sets) for ongoing travelling shows.
For example, Elvis was missing.
But his image remains everywhere.
I guess it’s time for a 25-year anniversary of the Elvis is Everywhere book, published in 1991; and it’s certainly time for a bigger, better book, as I have made some new and even international additions to the subject.
In the retro show, there were also hundreds of portraits that were absent, such as these few:
Hurrying to get this late substack out there, I have to quit sooner than I’d like, but in future stacks we will, hopefully, get further along on this project. If those of you reading this have any ideas on how to proceed, I’d love to hear from you. There are subjects I have not even mentioned yet. Stay tuned.
