anyone know where this picture is from?

Black Swan

Abord the Yorikke!
Here is what Joan says in the prologue? of Cruelty.
I first met CB in 1974 at a reading at California State University Los Angeles. My friend Glen Esterly was profiling him for Rolling Stone and brought me along to take some photographs we hoped to run with the article. A month later, we met again at Hank's humble bungalow on Carlton Way in East Hollywood, the scene of so many of his vivid literary landscapes...
A week later we went back for another interview and photo session.

I guess I was drunk when Gannij told us the stories and I thought
Elvis wasn't there during the second photo session. Not the first time I'm wrong.

Okay, well that would seem to suggest that the "frigid air" session with Georgia was the second Gannij session. The first being the more formal one with the fancy shirt.

According to Pam's book, she and Georgia met Bukowski in November of 1975, so it would make sense that the Georgia picture is from 1976 and the fancy shirt picture is earlier.

The Rolling Stone piece ran in the summer of 1976, so I think Gannij's memory is a little off when she says she met him in 1974 with the Rolling Stone writer. I don't think Rolling Stone would sit on a profile like that for over a year in those days. Which makes it more likely that the fancy shirt photo is from late 1975 (or early 76).

Either way, it seems that the t-shirt/Georgia session was after the fancy shirt session, which makes sense, as Bukowski would have likely been less formal shooting with her for the second time.

Very interesting.

I'd say the picture is Carlton Way, too. Probably the end of the Carlton-Way-period.

Maybe the strange looking sofa is this one without the blanket?

Usually wrong.
The sofa in the photo starting this thread doesn't have arm rests, so it can't be the same as the one with the blanket on it.

Note the bandaid on Linda's finger. No doubt this is from her Cut Finger period.
