Pool Photography by Mike Haines & Bill Porter

BillPorter > Billy Burge (aka Cornbread Red) looking back at Jimmy Zehnder. Cornbread may be saying to Jimmy, "30 years from now you're going to want a photo of the two of us because I'll still be famous." Just recently (March, 2009) Jimmy DID ask for a print of this and a few other old pool pics. I printed up about 6-7 for him and will let you know what he offers to pay me for my time and the materials used.

Update: On March 3, when I gave Jimmy the prints, I got my payment. A sincere "Thank you!"
BillPorter > Billy Burge - a legendary money player
BillPorter > Billy Burge - staying down well on this shot.
BillPorter > Billy "Cornbread Red" Burge racking 'em - Yes, his movement blurred the shot, but I'm leaving it in the gallery anyway. You can never have too many Cornbread images!
BillPorter > Billy Burge - showing a pretty long follow through here.
BillPorter > Billy Burge -wonder what he was thinking about here? For some reason, I really like shots of the players in thoughtful poses.
BillPorter > Billy Burge in a pensive moment
BillPorter > Billy Burge aka Cornbread Red.
BillPorter > Earl Strickland and Billy "Cornbread Red" Burge - Earl just asked Billy, "Will I really look like that in 30 years?" Add a comment if you have a thought about what they are laughing about.
