Note to mobile users and others on slow or data-limited
connections: This part of Chord & Sorcery is graphics-intensive.
For your convenience, there is a number next to each thumbnail showing
how large the actual image is in kilobytes.
Also, some thumbnails have been cropped for size, so there may be more to certain images than is visible here.
NOTE: Copyright of these images remains with their subject and original photographer; my tag on a scan is merely to denote that I was the one who went to the time and trouble to convert a particular photo from hardcopy to digital and upload it to the web for other fans to enjoy. HOWEVER, while I don't "own" these pics in any kind of legal sense, I would still appreciate being asked or at the very least informed if you wish to reproduce them on another website (I can be contacted by email here) and a link back to C&S (see this page for code and banners) or some other form of acknowledgement would be lovely, as well. Thank you!

Looking sweet and maybe just a teeny bit vulnerable...

That boy had the bluest eyes... sigh...
|
That pout ought to be classed as a weapon!
|
Ben: "What are you doing taking my picture? Can't you see I'm busy with my plans for world domination?"

HOW does that boy manage to look so sweet and so utterly enigmatic at the same time??
|
Ben in a doorway... this must have been early 80's sometime...

Even in black and white, those eyes are just hypnotic...

A promotional poster for Ben's solo album. The quality of the pic isn't spectacular, but the actual poster is breathtaking!

From the cover of the "Too Hot To Stop" single. (Is he shirtless under that jacket? Sure looks like it to me...

From his "dark hair" period... and a bit heavy on the eyeliner, I'd say...
|
OMG--look at that grin!

Bare-chested!Ben... that sound you hear is my mind falling straight into the gutter... ![]() NOTE: I pulled this image off a Yahoo group which has since been closed down, but the original poster (who wishes to remain anonymous) says it was given to her by another fan in the San Francisco, CA area some years back, and that it was taken during the Cars' first tour in Central Park, New York City.

Black leather and a white bass... yum...

Ben in a v-neck shirt and leather pants... sigh... oh yeah, and Ric Ocasek's in the shot, too...

Ben and Elliott (he's all there in the larger version, trust me!)

Love the leather pants...

Those lips just make me want to grab him by the collar and--well, never mind...

Sigh...

Is anyone else having thoughts about that zipper on the front of his shirt?
