Looks great Bill!
A heck of a lot more fun than clicking through a gallery and waiting for each to load.
A little work with names next to players and some storyline for some pics would make it not just a great viewing piece, but a real piece of pool history.
I've got a section on my website (see below) for legends. I'd love to embed this and other similar videos so people can reminisce, study some history or just put some faces to some old tales.

You are correct
You are correct, there are a couple of Grady shooting and a couple of Jimmy Mataya shooting and shooting the breeze with Jimmy Reid. I was mistaken in saying that Jimmy Marino was in the slide show. As for Sigel, he may have looked bad with that beard, but many in the pool world would say he looks even worse these days.TATE said:
Player names and story lines
Colin, I could add captions, but when I did that, I didn't like the way it looked. I could add naration and maybe use that to name the players and give a story line. Might try it. Anyway, you are more than welcome to use the slide show however you want. I can put it on a CD and send it to you if you give me a mailing address. Or maybe I can upload it to you somehow.Colin Colenso said:
Great peice of work, being a photographer myself I can definately appreciate the body of work as a whole great job.
Being a person who has read alot, or as much as possible about the game I do have a strong desire to know the faces that many of the names I've read actually belong to so in those terms I'd like to know for sure who's who and not speculate, I think I picked out Grady & Allen, the rest I'm not sure.
Keep it coming I'd definately like to see more.

Matching names and faces
Black Cat, you can check our gallery of pool photos to see the names of everyone in the slide show. Here's the link for our gallery of images from the 1982 Dayton Open 9-ball tournament: http://billporter.smugmug.com/gallery/1606933Black Cat 5791 said:Great peice of work, being a photographer myself I can definately appreciate the body of work as a whole great job.

Yeah, it will take some imagination to add some info artfully. Hope you play around with it a little and see what works. Sometimes a black screen between sections can work ok.
Re- Embedding: Thanks for the permission. Actually all I need to do is copy the code that is on that youtube screen beside your video, so no work for you.
I'd be happy to provide links to your galleries and credit next to the vids as they appear on my site.

I'm going to agree with everyone else. Great piece. Hope to see more. Thanks.
Wow that was very cool seeing all those old school champions at work do you happen to know how much the tourny was worth? Just curious to see how the money was back then. great job either way.
