not so common photos

[roni]

I think, these photos of Hank aren't as wide-spread as others.

Now that rekrab has brought them up with his paintings, I thought, I'll post them for general information.

I've also scanned the info on the book, where they're from. These pics should not be by Benno, as far as I know, so they would be either by Thomas Häpker or under copyright of Inter-Topics, Hamburg (as I've stated elsewhere before).


in case you don't remember the Barker-paintings:
go here and here.

Nice Photo's! Thanks, Roni...

Thanks Roni. I like the Photo, top right, with the smoke just hangin in the corner. Cool.

Roni, you're a wizard. I've painted two out of three and have picked the third as a possibility. I found all three Googling images. It's amazing what comes up when you go through hundreds of images. I also searched Flicker and Photobucket for images. I found a few -- two or three -- that I've never seen elsewhere. One of him as an old man tending flowers in a garden. I'd post these uncommon ones but I have about three minutes before my wife gets out of the shower and I have to move along.

This link no longer works. Any chance to get a hand on this collection?
@rekarb, is this something you can help me with?

 

[Rekrab]

Sorry, but I no longer have copies of the photos I based my paintings on. I did about 25 watercolor portraits of Bukowski. My photos were posted on a "free lifetime" Photobucket account that was supposed to be available forever, but they welched on that promise and now they want to be paid to host them. I no longer have access to my old Photobucket account.

ps: I still have photos of all the paintings I did, just not the photos they were based on (sometimes loosely).

Thank you, Rekrab. I was searching for a specific photograph - Bukowski sitting on a bed, naked. If I find it, I will upload it here.

Oh, I found what I was looking for (:
