I found this while browsing around online for Carpenter photos:



Here's the original website:

Karen and Richard were being interviewed by disc jockeys from radio station in Hartford, Connecticut, The River 105.9
http://www.theriver1059.com/main.html

The caption on the photo says it was taken during an interview at A&M Records six months before Karen died, but I doubt that - that would have been about August or September 1982... And as far as I've been able to determine, the last time Karen was at the A&M studios before her death would have been April 1982, when she and Richard recorded several songs, including "Now," while she was vacationing at home for two weeks away from her therapy sessions with Steven Levenkron.

I was also thinking this was the same interview where she gave Richard "the look,"



but she's wearing a different blouse.

Anyway, I thought you guys would like to see it...!

Here's another one, at another radio station, taken in 1977, which would have been about the same time PASSAGE was released. (Notice the T-shirt the DJ is wearing.)

I've never seen the first one, so thanks...

Her hair looks different in "the Look" photo so I doubt they taken at the same time.

The first photo was from the 1981 Ray Moore interview that Richard and Karen did. Ray has since said it was one of the best moments of his life, to meet the duo

Previously, I posted an enlarged, cropped version here:

All the photos here were posted before. I posted the first one. Then posted by Stephen, then by me again. I don't like this photo, so I was talking about this photo but I didn't post this photo to the topic where Robert posted the second photo. I posted my favorite photo to the tread, saying that was the photo that I posted that one and this photo together before.

And I think I posted they are Norman Nite and the Duke, according to the site that I found this photo. One of them is not Ray Moore.

Well....we knew people had photos they were keeping and I'm sure there are alot more that people have for there own personal use and we will never see.

Here is just one photo, obviously taken by a fan backstage...wouldn't it have been cool to be able to go backstage and meet Karen and Richard. Too bad the photo is covered but from what we can see Karen is dressed in a sexy outfit....only wish we could see more. So I wonder if this was outfit she wore on stage or is this after she changed to meet and greet?

Taken Sept 1 1976 backstage at the Riviera

i've got this picture, i love it. Karen and Richard are standing with 3 fans, including the guy who is selling the photo. She looks stunning, its probably one of the best photos i've ever seen of her. Amazing.

It's a good photo, but not the "best" of her. Her eyes are saggy underneath - nose is red - clavicle bones showing.
In my opinion, the 'best' photos of her are from the "Horizon" photo session and her wedding.

She was positively radiant then....
