I can't let these pictures Of Issan and some of his friends sit on my computer's hard drive out of sight. They were, I think, a gift from Del Carlson to the Hartford Street Zen Center. Jeff Thomas scanned them and sent me digital copies. I found a few others in various and sundry places.

Issan and Del Carlson in Santa Fe |

This is the earliest photo of Issan I found. I'd recognize that face anywhere.
|
|
He wore a dress and did his hair.
|
|
He was never afraid to share the spotlight.
