Then Tex came back in and said “Kill her” “Katie said to kill her”. I’m not sure whether Katie went outside or not. When the Folger girl started to go outside, Tex and Katie went outside and I just stayed there with Sharon. “Woman, I have no mercy for you” and that was myself to only me. She said all I want to do is have my baby and I knew I had to say something to her before she got hysterical and while I was talking to her I knew everything I was saying to myself, I wasn’t talking to her. Take Two caught up with Merrick Morton and Robin Blackman at the Paramount Lot for a preview of the show, and to find out more about these fascinating historical images.Then Tex told me, Sharon Tate wanted to sit down, so I took her over and sat her down on the couch. "To our surprise he said, 'OK, you can have access to these.' So we were actually the first people ever allowed access to actually sift through these negatives," said Morton. "I remember the quote from the city archivist at the time, she said she likes my idea, but hell will freeze over before they give you any access to this," said Merrick.īut that all changed when Merrick met John Thomas, adjutant to then-Police Chief Bernard Parks, who had been working on an archival project about African-American LAPD officers. Together, they wrote a proposal to Chief Parks who granted them access. The images were shot for evidence and contained confidential and sensitive content that the LAPD was hesitant to open up to the public. But gaining access to the photos wasn't easy. Under the gallery name, Fototeka, the couple has spent years culling the LAPD's records to bring these images to light.
These photos never would have seen the light of day if it weren't for photographer/LAPD reserve officer Merrick Morton and his wife Robin Blackman. One of the most striking exhibits at the event is a collection of rare crime scene photos unearthed from the LAPD's archives, dating as far back as 1925 up to the 1960s. This is the second year that the event has been held in Los Angeles. It was started in 1996 and is usually held at the Grand Palais in Paris, France. Photography fans might want to visit Paramount Studios' New York City backlot this weekend for Paris Photo, a huge art show featuring 80 photo and video artists from around the world. WARNING: Some of these images are graphic in nature.
