The first great puppy love of my life when I was at Loomis in Windsor, CT. She attended sister school, Chaffee. 8 B&W photos mostly when we were young, like 15 years old. An article on the adult Peggy Fasullo, who was a wonderful potter. We've remained friends for almost 60 years.

The second great love of my life, senior year at Loomis, Freshman year at Hamilton. 7 B&W and color pictures of when we were young. She married, became Linda Gale, but we've remained in touch all these years.

2 B&W headshots of me at Hamilton that appeared in the 1962 yearbook, The Hamiltonian.

I visited my best friend, Alan Howard, in Guatemala, spring 1964. The visit changed my life (see An American Child Supreme). In Chichicastenango, I met Alan's friend, Diana Oughton, who was working for the Quakers (American Friends). Later, in America, Diana became part of the Weather Underground and died in a bomb explosion on West 11th Street in New York, March 1970. This single B&W photo is by my cousin, Tim Weld.

I was 23. B&W photo was taken by my cousin, Tim Weld, in Chichicastenango, Guatemala

Folder includes one B&W picture of me at Nito's home in Alicante (Spain), and 12 negatives. Nito was my mother Monique's little brother. I had just turned 24. These were intended as Sterile Cuckoo publicity pictures also.

Alan is with Luis Turcios Lima (head of the FAR), and César Montes. Turcios was killed not long after. César Montes, incredibly, is still alive today (2014). B&W foto was published in NY Times with article by Alan.

36 negatives of B&W photos my wife Ruby took for a jacket photo of me for The Wizard of Loneliness. One picture was used. Included are 17 prints on a contact sheet. Taken at 125 Sulivan Street (my 2nd NY apt) and surrounding neighborhood.

1 photo. I'm holding Luke and a sign, "Merry Xmas oh Lovely Mom."

3 B&W photos. We visited the ruins in Costilla and posed in them for photographer, Fil Sibley, our Taos next-door neighbor. Great pictures. Ruby is very pregnant with Tania (born August 7, 1970). From that trip came my NM Review article, "Lawrence Martínez, and Don't You For Get Eat."

4 B&W photos of our friend Bernie and her daughter, Pollen, and her mom, Jeri, with Pollen. 2 contact sheets with 33 tiny B&W photos of Bernie, her mom Jeri, her sister Darleen, and grandfather Jim Suazo, with newborn Pollen. Plus 6 B&W negative strips. Also 1 color photo of Bernie's sister, Soge Track, with her little daughter, Dakota.

My wife Ruby took these B&W photos at Cypress Drive, Albuquerque, in 1973 (or 1974?) while we were trying to patch up our marriage. Folder includes 7 prints, a contact sheet with 22 prints, and 11 B&W negative strips. One photo was used for the jacket of The Milagro Beanfield War, published September 1974.

This is my favorite B&W picture. My best friend Mike Kimmel and me at the top Latir Lake with a string of 11 fat cutthroats, summer 1973. Photo was taken by a hippie wasted on mescaline we met up there. People don't catch and keep fish like that anymore, it's bad manners, bad environment. But what a triumph that day was for us. We caught them all on size 18 dry irresistibles. (See my slide archives for many bad pictures of this adventure, in sleeves #6 and #7 of Slide Box 1.)

Just one B&W photo of me looking distinguished enough to get a U.S. passport despite wanting to overthrow the capitalist system! Taken around 1975.

Stephanie, Tino, and I lived together a few years, mid-1970s. 2 B&W photos by Bill Davis of Stephanie, and Steff and Tino together. Also color photo of me and Stephanie and the writer, Larry Woiwode (What I'm Going to Do, I Think). Also 2 B&W snapshots of me and Steff at an opening at Tally Richards gallery in Taos, 1975, 1976. (See my photo of Stephanie in Last Beautiful Days of Autumn --LBDA.)

This folder has one lovely color photograph taken by Jim Abourezk, who was then a senator from South Dakota, I believe, and good a friend of Fred and LaDonna Harris. We all used to party down a lot. Photo taken I believe in 1976-1977.

Includes A Ghost in the Music author jacket B&W photo, and 7 other B&W pictures my good friend Bill took at the time, 1978. Also a contact sheet with 34 B&W pictures taken by Bill in search of a good one for the book's jacket.

3 B&W photos of Bill and I posing on SW Taos mesa near Pueblo River for publicity shots for our book, If Mountains Die. Photos by Bill Davis, 1978. We were young and having fun!
