Absolute Zero: the photos
Here is a selection of photos that visually verify the existence of AZ. Before the era of digital photography and cell phone cameras -- ie. before everything was documented all the time -- carrying along a camera to gigs was a hassle and we rarely did it. We owe many of the photos below to our friends: Doug Suna, Pete Beeman, and John Adcock. I took a few shots as well, but with a crappy Kodak that was barely above a disposable. It would be nice to have a larger selection of images, but these provide a decent sense of the gigs (minus the smell of beer, of course).
