I saw a comment about this site on another forum. It's pretty neat - lots of photos and interesting stories. http://www.thehypertexts.com/Famous%20Pool%20Sharks.htm

Thanks! I just put his name (and aka) under the photo in our gallery. :thumbup:

I think the only requirement is that the photo be pool-related.

Jimmy Moore on the left, next to him it looks like Luther Lassiter, then an unknown person, then Willie Mosconi, and U. J. Puckett on the right. Who is the guy in the middle?

If, for our little contest, we limit it to one photo per person, which of yours do you want me to include?

You bet! Very nice image, IMHO. I'll stick it in our Contributed Photos gallery and when I get at least 10 images, maybe we'll do a vote for the best photo.

Hope you have put on some weight since that last photo.

I'd have to check, but I think I have some underwear older than that. :grin:

Anyone have a nice pool-related photo for my contest? You should be the owner of the photo so that there's no problems with stealing someone else's image. See my original thread for more details: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=333328

Not exactly "pool-related" but a great shot nonetheless! I have gotten 3-4 pics for a possible contest, so I am hopefully I'll get a few more if I bump this thread.

I want to thank Mary Kenniston (nightmare on this forum) for her comments on photos in our galleries of old pool pics. Over the past few days, Mary has made about EIGHTY comments on photos from several pool tournaments. Her comments have identified heretofore unknown people in the images, both...

I hope someone shows Toby this thread. Seems like he would really enjoy reading the comments about him. Anyone want to volunteer to do this?:thumbup:

Here are a few pics of Toby I have a few pics of him.

My first thought was to limit the photos to OLD photos, maybe anything earlier than 1990. But I guess we can just open it up to anything pool-related. And sure, photoshopping is OK. Heck, I probably couldn't tell for sure if had been photoshopped or not anyway. :) Thanks for your response.

Maybe, in order to keep it down to a manageable number of photos, on this first effort at a contest, let's make it one photo per AZ member. I know that Mary Kenniston has thousands of old pool pics and I don't know how I could handle it if she sent along a few hundred. I hope that any photos...

Well, I hadn't considered the possibility of submitting a "found" photo, but I don't see why not. It would be nice to give photo credit to the photographer, but I guess I wouldn't rule out photos from an unknown photographer. We could just say, "Photo contributed by John Doe" instead of, "Photo...

I’ve been thinking about a little contest I’d like to have here on AZ. It would target those of you who may have some old photos that are pool-related. If you have a photo (or slide or negative) that shows something of interest or historical value and is pool-related, send it along to me at...

Confirming evidence that it is Mike Sigel in the photo Mike Haines, who took the photo, said he was almost sure that it was Sigel, but "almost sure" wasn't good enough for me. So I emailed Mary Kenniston, who played in the tournament and who knows Mike well. She replied, "I am positive that...

Mike Haines, who took the photo, replied to my question (via email) by saying, "He had a beard at this time. I would not steak my life on this being Sigel but I do believe it is him."

Hey, Freddy I emailed you to put me down for one of your hardcover books at $50. Put a nice inscription in it, OK? Thanks.
