Still haven't gotten a verdict on which 5 Van Vechten pictures to request high quality copies

@Baba you're in a thread right now! If you click on one of these posts it will show you the full context. Dad was having trouble with this too I think.

@Baba dad's following you so he should see this, but if you want to tag him in a post type @B. That will give him a little notification that you are talking about him.

Okay so here is the complete collection of William's photos from the writer/photographer Carl Van Vechten.

These digital versions are not very high quality. I have reached out to the Trust of Van Vechten, and they have graciously offered to give us five high quality scans, free of charge. Normally this would cost $50 a picture so this is a lovely offer.

This of course begs the question, which five photos would we want high quality copies of?

This is a very fun project. Hope you are enjoying it as much as I am.

@B @Baba Bill was involved with the Dutch National Ballet between 1961-1964ish

Looking for footage of him in action haven't found anything I don't think. Is this him? They say something about America and Jerome Robbins. Timing would have been unlikely but possible.

He's difficult to make out in most of these.

These are press photos. Something about a Heritage Family Theater?

@B this is touching for me
