My own photos. I was
humbled to have been asked to contribute some of my
collection for the Legacy of Vincent Price Exhibit at The
Sheldon Gallery, and absolutely floored to have been an
invited guest of Cinema St. Louis for the opening weekend of
Vincentennial. Here are some of the photos I took
during my stay. |

Decision was made." [from Robert Taylor] |

one of Vinnie's prized sea shells from his own collection as
a 'show and tell'." [from Robert Taylor] |
"Right across from the Price family's
beautiful house is Givens Hall, the university architecture
building that Vinnie's mother Marguerite disliked so much.
While it was being constructed, Marguerite sent endless
letters to the Powers That Be insisting that the bldg be
taken down, discontinued, removed, etc--as it blocked her
view of the beautiful Administration Bldg--which looked to
her like Windsor Castle." [from Robert Taylor] |
"Victoria Price, Irene Leland, Jenni,
Cuz and I, when we finished having lunch at Blueberry Hill
that Friday, went up the street and looked at the display of
Vinnie-related artwork at the wonderful Star Clipper
comic/book store." [from Robert Taylor] |
