Came across this photo on Barney Hurley's Twitter the other day. It's one of the few (the only?) photos I've seen from the Circus Money sessions. Surely such a legendary work deserves better documentation. Are there more photos of the sessions out there? Can they be shared on this site?

Thank you for the content..
Internet empires have been built on far less (and certainly far less shame) than BH's Twitter.
Why not give BH a little more grist for his mill? Studio pics from the modern era are even more scarce than from the 70s.
Good ol’ BH; the cut-paste-repost king of the internet. Wonder why [strike none] so few of his grabs ever come along with a hint of the original source 😅. Thousands of viewers probably mistake him for someone with awesome exclusive access to kewl shit 😂 Which may be the point? Like, “I’m not a Fogel but I play one on the internet”
Not many pics during that time, for a variety of random reasons. I know there are some scattered around the web somewhere (after 24 yrs of webdroning I can hardly find anything anymore)… like the pic of W’s bass nook, with cutouts of the greats standing around his amp stacks..
But here’s one from one of the WB slideshows; I took it on or very near to the last day of overdubbing at Avatar (ditto with the pic above, from the CM packaging). The very last overdub as I recall was Potter in Audrey…..but he had left by the time I climbed up on a table for this shot.
[Edit: I should add that as a general rule *I* did not take pics during any actual recording or studio runthoughs or even rehearsals….it was just not the right time or place, I felt, for the players to see a camera pointing at their face. Having said that I’m now remembering a few other (not very good) non-invasive pics I took that same day, just as everything was wrapping up. I’ll post them if I run across them again]
