If you own an Elvis album or CD, chances are you have one of Ed's spectacular works of art in your own home. Ed's the fantastic and always ready photographer, who's known for capturing Elvis in all those wonderful poses.
Ed first met Elvis at a party in 1964. He was introduced to him by his uncle Tom Diskin, who was the Colonel's right hand man at the time. Ed began traveling with Elvis as his tour and concession manager in 1970 and it wasn't long, luckily for us, before Ed put his photographing skills to work. Ed soon became known as Elvis' official Photographer and Tour Manager, a job he continued until May 1, 1977. Ed took thousands of pictures for the next seven years. Ed's pictures can be found for sale throughout Memphis and surrounding areas in beautifully framed lithographs. His work can also be seen on numerous album covers, single sleeves, posters, buttons, pocket calendars, tour albums, books and magazines.
