Pirates of the Caribbean 1 & 2

Here are some pictures taken by Raymond Van Tassel during the Original "HAiR'' casts rehearsals and performance in Golden Gate Park at the free festival attended by at least 50,000 people.

                        Sonja Kristina (Mask, Curved Air) and Paul Korda were members of the Original London Cast of ''HAiR''
           and hadn't seen each other for 39 years!

Also, here are some pictures that friends and  I took while working on Pirates of the Caribbean:Curse of the Black Pearl

Even though we were all up at the crack of dawn, there was a natural excitement about working in period costumes and sets, that made us feel we were reliving those days of the Pirates, even if the sunglasses and cigarettes were a little out of the period!

At the start of the movie, the sword for the new commander of the fort is taken from the Governors mansion (miniature on the right, the actual blue screened structure on left) to the investiture, by a horse drawn coach.
