KICKSTARTER.com PROJECT: The 1,000,000 Photos of Bob Mizer's AMG

The bulk of photographer Bob Mizer's estate was unceremoniously thrown in the dumpster in 1992 after he died in Los Angeles. Fifty-year-old boxes of correspondence, studio props and personal artifacts from one of America’s most controversial artists are gone forever.  Luckily the core of his life's work, consisting of about one million photographic negatives and thousands of 16mm films and videotapes, survived this irresponsible action and was boxed up and locked in storage for the next decade. Now that is where you come in.  Together, we can get proper archival storage materials and save it! Here's the main page link and a couple others. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/den-bell/the-1000000-photos-of-bob-mizers-athletic-model-gu or the SHORT LINK>>>  http://kck.st/MagrQu The video on YouTube: http://youtu.be/OIk45wEe8HY BMF on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/BobMizerFoundation Bob Mizer wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Mizer
