MBIRD ISSUES APB FOR OLD PHOTOS!
The Mockingbird Foundation has issued an all-points bulletin seeking old photos of Phish. Now that there's a pause in touring, we're asking you to climb into your closets, break out the shoeboxes, crack open the photo albums, and help us out. We're looking for anything, everything, but especially '83 to '97, the 15 years before there WAS a Mockingbird Foundation. (No need to hesitate on newer stuff - we'll consider anything - but we need to fill gaps in early years, asap!)
And not just you, because there's a chance we've asked you before: We beg, plead, with you to contact other Phish fans you know - perhaps, even, this is a chance to reach out to phans you used to know or travel with but haven't seen in awhile. Find 'em on Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace (remember that?), Google+ (remember that?), or just Google stalk them until you find them. Even if you don't have anyone in mind, we hope you'll spread this APB far and wide - tweet it, post it, send it anywhere - all points of contact, please! :)
As an incentive...
As an incentive, we'll send a free copy of the store-version of The Phish Companion's third edition to anyone whose submitted photo is used. Heck, if it helps, we'll throw in a personal call from the board member of your choice.
If you scan them to hi-res digital copies, awesome; let Ellis ([email protected]) know and we'll figure out how best to get them (email, dropbox, etc.). If you'd rather us handle the scanning, send them to Executive Editor Ellis Godard at 12407 Willow Grove Court, Moorpark, CA 93021; we'll reimburse postage, scan them, and ship them back pronto.
Dig deep, reach out, relive the old days, and help out a good cause - please! We need you, and we need you now!

I'm pretty sure I have some old photos from Sugarbush, the Clifford Ball, and the Went (stage/camping/crowd/festival theming shots) but I doubt any of them would contain terribly close up pictures of the actual band members.

I will look for my Great Went and Clifford Ball shots, but I was a fledgling photographer back then; not sure what to expect from those.
I'll let you know.
Joyous Lake, it was teeny tiny everything is close up -what a show- 6 bucks to see third ball and Juan hangin' low..amaze balls
The problem is that I misplaced the negatives many years ago so my one signed, framed poster is all that remains. Since it's easily my most prized Phish possession I'm not real enthusiastic about sending it off in the mail to be scanned. However, if you guys have any interest in the picture plus an idea of how to get a good copy out to you then I'd love to help. I'm assuming a digital photo of the picture subsequently emailed to you wouldn't exactly fit the bill as far as resolution goes.
Let me know if you have an idea of how I can help. I'm obviously biased but I still think its the best Trey picture I've seen from the old days.
