Pool Photography by Mike Haines & Bill Porter

BillPorter > Earl Strickland sits as Dave Bollman lines up a shot. My old friend Ken Denham is the spectator right in the center of the shot, outlined by the two cue sticks. Sadly, Ken died a few months ago in a traffic accident. Jack Jarvis, a strong player from the Cincinnati area, is just to the right of Ken.
