Jim Rose circus sideshow vs Jake the Snake Roberts!

[orangecat62]

Last time I shot Jim Rose was way way back in 1992 through 94, back at Seattle iconic places such as the Weathered Wall, Rock Candy and Moe's. So I was very pleased to get called to come shoot the new show of Jim Rose's at the Show box Market last night

Great pictures!!! I wish I could have been there!!!!

I used to go to all those old Jim Rose shows too. I became buddies with some of them...and Jim used to pick me to stand on his back/head when he'd put his face in glass! Were you taking pix back then? Matt the Tube recently sent me a shot where I'm doing that, but it's cropped and I just look like I'm laughing. Ha!

Anyway, love the pix!

Awww I miss Matt the Tube Crawly!!!! I thought his acr\t was one of the best ever!!!!

I was shooting back them on B&W film... I have no film scanner right now, but I will have to go back and dig deep into the archives and look for that film!

Right on!

Yep! That's what I did back in the day with Bebe holding me up. Jim said he liked to pick me because I always wore boots with big heels and it made the presentation look way cooler (I can see that he's still doing that). Here is the cropped picture of me standing on him from Matt's pictures from a LONG time ago!

I got shots of this from Feb of 1993... but I cannot recognize the venue it was shot at, from looking at the negatives.... But got a photo of someone with long hair standing on his head!
