More Unseen Pics at Ross Halfin's Site
Ross Halfin has some more unseen (as far as I can tell) pics of Randy taken at Bradford Saint George's Hall, The Palladium New York, and Syracuse.

Nice find, i always wondered which gig those early pics came from. I thought they came from the Southampton show. I noticed a couple of extra pics from the Day on the Green. I've only ever seen a couple of pics that Ross shot from the Palladium. I bet he has plenty more but it's good to see them after all this time.

No, i think it's because when Randy was being inducted into the Rock Walk of Fame thing his plaque had spelled his name wrong. So many people figured it was spelled RHODES.
Besides that, i have no idea why....

Well it was rolls of 35mm film back then in the 80's. I have only seen a few pics (5) from the Bradford St George gig. I'm thinking if he was shooting rolls of 36 exposure. I don't know if he would of been subjected to the first 3 songs in the set then you have to stop taking photos ?.It's a rule all photographers who professionaly take pics for press and publications etc. So i would think he has alot of unpublished prints. But it's great that he is leaking a few out to keep us fans interested. It's just crazy how much they cost if he lowered the price i'm sure it would pay off for him in the long run.stealaway wrote:I wonder have many rolls Ross has, unpublished Ozzy/Randy-pics....?!

I agree. Those prices are too high and I doubt they are selling for that price. If he made them reasonable for the fans, he would probably sell thousands. I don't know if he would ever consider it. Maybe it's a status thing for him ... who knows? It also sucks to think that there are many photos that we have never seen and may never see. Maybe by the time we're in our '80s, there will be a book of photos released.

Re:
Many of the "pro" photographers didn't necessarily use regular "consumer" rolls of film. Many used "bulk film loader" stock and 99.9% of them used motor-drives, too. Therefore they could take many more photos than your standard 20/24/36 exposure rolls, in rapid succession, without even having to reload. They normally used either B&W film or 25 ASA/64 ASA Kodachrome slides.GUITARIDOL5682 wrote:Well it was rolls of 35mm film back then in the 80's.

To rewind ... auto-winder ...bzzzzzzzzzzzt ZIP ... done.
All my own equipment was manual. Lowwwwww tech.
That "first 3 songs" thing didn't apply back in the 70's/early 80's, either. They shot as long as they felt like, for the most part.
