Great idea for a thread, Rick!

I don't think I have any Elvii to share at the moment, but now I'll be on the lookout.

Thanks, Keith. I find myself looking for him, in one form or another, all the time. Sometimes I think I am losing my mind.

I Saw Elvis! And I just found my slides from the concert.
I need to scan them in, or try a slide duplicator on my Df. I will post them here when I do.
I bought a 200mm F3.5 lens and a Vivitar 283 for the concert at the Capital Center. The pictures are much better than I remembered.

These are great. Keep 'em coming. Brian, I hope you are able to get those Elvis shots scanned and posted here. My mother saw Elvis in concert years ago in Las Vegas.

Quick scan with an inexpensive film to digital convertor, not enough bit-depth and control. I will use a slide-duplicator with a camera. Since I have to crop anyway, used a 200mm F3.5 lens, will use my EP2. Elvis HAD to be in white!
June 1976.

Is that Elvis or John Travolta?

 

[Brian]

I saw Elvis.

John Travolta is no Elvis, and would probably be the first to acknowledge that.

In the 1970's I edited this magazine. We had an airbrush guy make this cover for us. Fortunately, we did not have to issue a check for the reward.

I have no Elvis images but if anybody ever needs a Fat Elvis model I'm game!

That might be the coolest thing I have ever seen.

I would consider submitting that magazine cover to the Smithsonian as a perfect encapsulation of the 1970s.
