Greetings,
Well... as the subject says... this is the "Introduction" post of this blog. Some of you viewing this may have already visited our site,
PhotoFlashbacks (http://www.photoflashbacks.com/), but then some of you have not.
PhotoFlashbacks is the collected work of the late
Doug Hartley of Scottsdale, Arizona. Doug was a freelance photographer and his work was primarily of the
Rock N Roll concerts in the
Phoenix area during the late 1960's.Doug was killed by a drunk driver in 1971 and never really saw his work published. You can read a little more about Doug here: http://www.photoflashbacks.com/pages/photographer.shtml
Most of his photos are black & white shot on a 35 mm format. His negatives were stored away for many years by his Mom and sister until I came along into their lives and realized what a tistorical treasure he had left them. His sister and I have been working on this project for several years doing research and finally getting the site up in March of 2003.
We have not completed the project as there are over 50 acts in his collection and only 23 online at the moment. We hope you enjoy viewing his work and... might see a photo you would like to own.
I will be adding more to this blog but for the moment, "Thanks" for dropping by and we hope you will swing by the site. Your comments are always welcome.
All the best,
Noel
