Unknown Bukowski pictures?

[zobraks]

According to Bukowski.net Timeline it was the 18th of August 1985, when Charles Bukowski married Linda Lee Beighle.

Check that extraordinary place for juicy details like this:

Marries Linda Lee at the Philosophical Research Society's "Church of the People" in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles. The ceremony is officiated by legendary kook (or occult scholar depending on your point of view), Manly P. Hall.

I stumbled upon these pics of Moyamensing prison on instagram where Buk wrote about when he lived in Philly. He was arrested for vagrancy i believe. These pics are from around that time.

Not vagrancy, draft dodging.

 

[PhillyDave]

I guess they are later era pics but still, there you go.

these pics of Moyamensing prison...

It looks like they're tearing it down in those pics and people are watching.

When I was looking for period pictures of the prison for the timeline I couldn't find any. Only pictures of it after it was closed.

It's funny too because that section of South Philly is a nice & expensive section of the city, a bit hipster & young.

Funny, they build it to look like a castle. All there´s missing are knights in shining armor. ?

Regentrification changes everything. In the early 20th Century, the Bronx was exclusive and Manhattan was a hell-hole.

I learned something similar when the goodwife and I went to N'Orleans in 2010. She was looking for a nice spell of relaxation and I was looking for the history of Loujon Press. Needless to say, most of that has been wiped away with no evidence of its existence.

I did consume a large quantity of high-quality red beans and rice with andouille sausage and a few beignets, and the Bloody Mary's on the Natchez riverboat trip around the harbor were top shelf, so it wasn't a total loss.

....I call this one Nursing A Hangover

I believe it was taken at DeLongpre. Any info would be appreciated. If it’s included in a book, etc. ?

 

[zobraks]

I think you can find it in The Buk Book by Jim Christy (text) and Claude Powell (photographs).

I also vaguely recall that skiroomalum had used the same photo as one of his avatars.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

Yes, it's on page 53 of The Buk Book. Several other photos from the same day (it would seem) are also in that book. They are dated as "Hollywood '71." He lived at 5124 DeLongpre Ave. at the time.

Not sure if I've seen this one before. Ferlinghetti either giving Bukowski the fatherly embrace or getting ready to wrestle him down.

Found at: http://www.kenatchityblog.com/2013/09/kenneth-atchity-with-lawrence.html

 

[zobraks]

It sure looks like he's been trying to snap Buk's neck.
Talk about mission impossible.

Btw, Ferlinghetti is still around and he'll turn 102 (!!!) on 24th of March next year.

Haven't seen this one before (courtesy of Hannah):

C'mon: We've all seen Bukowski being blue.

 

[Glen Wood]

...sometimes I want to post a pic here and I tell myself, “naaah, these guys/gals have seen them all.” Hahaha...

 

[roni]

Could be true in many cases. Still, feel free to post. Better to see a pic a second time than not at all.

 

[Hannah]

From this.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

From this.

Damn, that's a reviewer who actually gets it. ?

 

[Bukfan]

Interesting article! Thanks ...
