Daisy should really consider publishing a "Bukowski in Pictures" of sorts of her Father's work including all of these unknown photos. Certainly no one took more photos of him and I suspect that we have only seen a very small number of photos. If she found the right publisher (someone like Harper Collins), she could get this in every major bookstore in the world.)

Those are great. Thanks, roni!

Appreciate your friends
That looks like a box of oranges. The it could be liquor and beer in an orange box from a liquor store but liquor stores rarely have shopping carts.
Awesome pictures!!
The one thing I have learned from these...
...I have better looking legs than Bukowski.

Abord the Yorikke!
Thanks Roni,
wonderful shots. I am surprised to see that his body looks almost fit.
A hunk...
Yes it would be nice to see all these unknown pictures in a book.
I suppose that LB must approve, would she?

When you straighten this one out, he's really leaning into the stance and shifting his weight back like a power hitter. Contrary to what he always said about playing sports, it looks like he did swing a bat more than a few times (though he seems to be wielding a cane in this shot).
He's protecting the plate (or the hole in the driveway), man! Ha.

Yeah, that would be great!
Buk looks like Thurman Munson.
Buk probably could have flown a plane better.
That would be a nice idea. I'd be happy to work together with her on this or something similar. (maybe a Bukowski-calender?)
Let's see if it happens some day ...
I too, think, that's a cane.
Maybe something like this, eh?
Damn, you're right!
It looks like Buk did something like shopping for groceries too. What a hell of a man!
Talking about neccessities of everydaylife:
And here's to the wonderful body of our hero:
I too am looking forward to it.
It will have nice things like
- an excerpt from Abel's thesis about Buk's unfinished novels from the 60s.
- the first 3 chapters of the upcoming memoirs by Pamela (cupcakes) Miller.
- an analisis by Robert Sandarg about a story from 'Portions', where he argues with David's interpretation.
and some more.
Till the very moment I was working on putting it together.
But it COULD be, that I'll have to lay it aside again for a while.
The reason:
Today the new catalogue of the well known Bukowski-publisher Zweitausendeins came out. And in the preface to it, the son of the founder, Fabian Reinecke, made a statement about our museum-project in Andernach, asking their customers to support it and referencing to our website.
Yes, that's excellent news!
But:
Our website is a mess!
It still looks more or less exactly like it did 10 years ago.
Today I included raw information on our museum-project in all hurry, just to be prepared the least bit for possible visits from Zweitausendeins-customers.
But that won't do it.
I will have to redo the WHOLE site completely new in order to make it look reputable. And since this catalogue is already out yet, I'll have to do this with PRIORITY A.
So, the yearbook is a bit behind that now.
Haha these are great! what a cheeky old grin at the top.
I was thinking about this for some time. I'd really like to do this.
Not a calender, dedicated to a special year, that one would (maybe) throw away afterwards (and have to buy a new one for the next year), but a calender-design, that isn't fixed to the weekdays as they fall into a special year.
This way, one could use these pics on their walls over and over again - and still have a reason. Do you guys think, that's a good idea or does it stink?

I support anything that will make the guy mainstream and a calender would help!
you mean "mainstream" as in
Christianity
or
P.C.
or
Hanna Montana?
"Mainstream" as in
George
Clooney
or
George
John
Paul
Ringo?
or
Kurt?
"Meinstream" as in
using the word FUCK in literature?
Or are we simply talking about
spreading Bukowski's genius
all over the world?
Now THIS is something,
I would sign up for.

if you consider this a poem, because of the line-breaks, please delete.
Great to see him anew
Thanks for the fine pics Roni..love em. I say do whatever you feel is right regards the calander thing. Though a calander of Bukowski does sound out of kilter with the mans attitude to me..but what the hell Id probably pick one up if i saw it. As for the mainstream introduction of Mr B who really cares..The mainstream simplifies him to writer of lowlife stories only. Bah to them..
