Welcome to the Will Oldham Live Photo Gallery.
Most pictures here are to be found elsewhere on the net, but sometimes you gotta look real hard, so I thought I'd bring them together. Many thanks to all those who participated, with or without knowing.
Not everything I found is here. As the title suggest, I didn't include any pictures from magazines, you can see loads of those at The Royal Stable, Palace.free.fr and My Holly Home.
You can find everything there you've always wanted to know about Mr. Oldham, but were afraid to ask.
Some photographers asked me to show just a few pictures and make a link to their own page to see the rest.
Of course I tried to give full credit but if you think I didn't, please contact me at lmdabrowski at yahoo dot com.
Most importantly, I urge everyone to help me make this page bigger and bigger. Thanks! Enjoy!

news:
apr 2009 - Some 220 different shows and still going strong.
I don't use anything but the 'simpleviewer' script now. Easy as pie. I'm sorry that I'm not able to link all the sets back to the original photographer with it, but I've had no complaints, and I make sure I have all info on my hard drive, if anyone wants to know.
jul 2008 - I know I know, I'm a lazy bastard. And when I'm not I hardly ask for using the new additions. What can you do... things happen... or they don't. Lately a few new sets were sent to me - thanks! - which gave me just the impulse I needed, so here goes: finally some recent shows on the site, from 2008. Enjoy.
nov 2006 - I almost wanted to quit but I didn't. It's a lot of work and I have so little time. Still. I decided to continue in a somewhat different way: for any new set of pics more than a few, I have now implemented a 'simpleviewer'-script which makes it fairly easy to navigate through a set. On the other hand, there won't be any fancy or arty display nor very large photos anymore; I'm just scaling them all down and to one size fites all.
Also, I'll stop linking back every single picture I find (so far I always did as best as I could), the photographers will still be mentioned of course and copyright (if any) lies with them, not with me. Loads of pics are from the well known flickr photo site. For myself I will always keep info on the source.
sep 2006 - Hurray hurray. We reached the 100,000th page load on the site today.
Well okay, maybe not such a big deal considering there are some 170 different dates on the site already. And growing. I know I have plenty of stuff still to upload, and I should be more up to date. Which I will. Promise. Keep 'em coming!
oct 2005 - Haven't added a line here for so long, that I thought I might as well. The archive continues to grow. Not a month goes by without an update. 140 different shows so far, which is fantastic. Often there are 2 or 3 sets of pics from the same show, which I think only ads to the feel of the evening. All are still welcome, don't think I won't be interested in yours, I am. Old or recent shows, amateur of professional shots, I thank you for each and every one.
jan 2005 - One year on, and pushing 125 different shows, and many more contributors. Thanks again. Looking forward to the first from the new year.
jun 2004 - Added show number 100 !!! Cheers!
jun 2004 - I received some from the recent tour. Excellent work. If you missed the show, catch up now. I must add much more, especially from 2003. Been rather busy. Sorry.
may 2004 - Many thanks to all those that sent their pictures. Much appreciated.
Have another look, all, if you have some snapshots lying about. Don't think I'm only after the best quality shots. Any are welcome.
apr 2004 - New additions will appear in italics for about a month.
apr 2004 - Finally announced this site, and received some very nice reactions. Thank you all very much. Please also let me know if you think I should make any changes.
I added some more in 2002 (some flashy kind of thing).
apr 2004 - If certain pages take too long to load, please give me a shout, and I'll re-arrange it, for instance not to load all images at once. Paris 1999-01-26 and Marseille 2001-03-27 are known bastards, but I keep 'em as they are, because I like the way they look.
apr 2004 - Another month has passed and still not up. Mainly because I'm looking for a couple more nice scripts to use. Not too fancy, just... nice.
mar 2004 - Added Marseille, 2001 (wonderful pictures by Sébastien Crespin). The page is very big and it takes a while to load. Please be patient. It's worth it. Very much so.
feb 2004 - Every week a little bit more. Slowly but steadily. I scanned some old ones of my own now too, so at last there is something new to this site.
feb 2004 - On the technical side of things... aaaaaggghhhhh!!!!
No, sorry. I mean, if anyone has any suggestions as to how to 'flash shit up', you're welcome. I don't know too much about it, and really, I like it to be clean and easy myself.
And a note about the size of certain images: I tried to scale it down sometimes with slower connections in mind. But then there will probably be a thumbnail to click and enlarge.
jan 2004 - finally got round to starting this site. nothing much up so far, just in the stage of testing, writing, and getting those bloody scripts to work.
