In 1994, a fresh-faced young man was in Los Angeles. Over the next several years he managed to get his photo taken with scores of famous faces.

Artist and photo dealer Dan Barry recently found these celebrity photographs. He generously agreed to share them here. “I can identify some of them,” he tells us. “Any help confirming identities would be appreciated.”

“I buy and sell vintage photos,” Dan tell us. “I am a generalist. I like photos from 1860s – 1990s. I am always looking for something a little bit unique, odd or out of the ordinary. I particularly enjoy finding interesting collections of photos. I like thinking about who the photos initially belonged to and what they meant to them. My preference is to keep a collection together whenever possible.”

Dan found this gem. And he explains why we to love it: “At some point all of these cast off photos meant something to someone.” Don’t overthink it. Just imagine the stories in between,
