Split by the stairs leading into the balcony (used by performances housed in OmniCircus), the photo exhibit moved left around the room. Out of range to the right is one of the two color portraits of Harry; the other was at the end of the show, framing the event.

These first photos spanned the years from 1940 to the early 1950's and contained photographs of hobos and trains as well as his first ensembles in Sausalito and Oakland.
