IIC is very proud to announce that the concert photography of Harold J. Newton is now available through our website. On behalf of Harold's Family, IIC will continue the tradition of offering these wonderful photos to the Fans who collect them.

Please review the Harold Newton Photos page on this site to see what concerts are available.

All photo are from the existing prints from Harold's collection. All are 4x6 inch glossy prints. For a more detailed account of what is available, please contact us.

Harold had his own distinct filing system, so if you ever ordered from him and you know what Sets you received, please let us know so we will be able to determine what you DON'T have.

All orders will be on a First-come, First-served basis. Orders will be filled based on the time and date of your emails. Please understand, there are way too many photos to scan and provide you with samples. They are all really good shots, many of them are GREAT and rare, but I recommend ALL of them to the serious collector. These are the last prints from the original photographer's collection as he owned them.

Harold passed away peacefully this afternoon at 2:12 pm EST, June 10, 2009. He was surrounded by family while Elvis music was playing from the # 1 HITS double CDs.

Over the past 10 days, he became less and less responsive, but over this time he would respond to certain key words. ELVIS, TED, (his brother who was a Border Patrol Agent killed in the line of duty in 1967) and BORDER PATROL.

Harold was widely known as an Elvis photographer, capturing him in dozens of concerts from 1975 - 1977. But he was also well known by members of the U.S. Border Patrol. Since his brother's tragic death in 1967, he has been a devoted advocate for the Border Patrol and its' Agents. He continuously sought for improvements to the Border Patrol so future Agents would be better protected.

Theodore L. Newton, Jr. and George F. Azrak were partners, killed in the line duty. Today, the U.S. Border Patrol's highest award for bravery is named after them. In 2007, Harold headed a campaign, lobbying Congress to have the Station they were working out of, in Murietta, CA, renamed in their honor. Legislation was passed last year and the Official Renaming ceremony was held a little over 6 weeks ago. Harold was there and it would be his last tribute honoring his brother. It was an extremely proud moment for his Family.

During his time in the hospital and at the Hospice House, a few of his favorite photos of Elvis were displayed in his room so that he would have pleasant memories to reflect on. One of his nurses at the hospital was a huge Elvis fan and wanted to know all about the photos. Thomas told her who Harold was and about his Elvis photography and she became an instant friend! Thomas returned the following day with some of Harold's beautiful 8x10 prints and gave them to the nurse. She was very excited about the photos and talked to him, wanting him to wake up and tell her all about them. When he was being moved from the hospital to the Hospice House, she asked if she could kiss him goodbye and to thank him again for the wonderful photos. When she kissed his forehead, his eyes opened for the first time in several days and he had a little grin on his face. He was a little more responsive that day than he had been or would be for the remaining days he had left. It is a sweet memory to have of him; his Elvis photographs still pleasing the fans and realizing the pride he had in knowing his photography of Elvis meant so much to so many.

No funeral plans have been made at this time, but he is to be laid to rest in his Family plot in Tacoma, WA.

Cards and condolences can be sent to his Family in care of:

06-06-08: Finally, this new addition to the website has been completed. 185 new photos from the George Hill Archive are now available on 4 new SINGLES pages. In our ongoing effort to continue to release new photos, the new webpages display many photos never released by George and some that have only been available at the Fan Conventions and Memorabilia Shows we have attended in the past 4 years.

We hope you find something that you like, old ones, new ones, something in between. All photos are from the original slides and negatives, digitally restored. In the coming weeks we will post the final stage of the REVAMP, the ENLARGEMENTS page.

As part of the new revamping of this website, all the concert sets are now on display in their entirety. Several NEW sets have been posted and are now available. The SETS are displayed on the CONCERT SETS page. The CONCERT LIST page describes each set and lists the prices. It is also available for you to print out and have a "hard copy" of the complete list.

In the coming weeks, new photos will be added to a SINGLES page and a new ENLARGEMENT page.

It has always been our goal to keep the George Hill Archive available to the Fans who collect concert photographs. George traveled many miles and photographed numerous concerts. Soon, a portion of his story will be told in the upcoming Book and DVD release: DIXIELAND DELIGHT. As soon as we receive a release date, we will post it here! It will be a treasured addition to everyones' collection. It is highly anticipated and will be well worth the 30 + year wait !! Over the years, George released photos for Fan magazines, news letters, and various other publications, but his work never received the complete attention it deserved. Even today, his photos are still being 'taken' for CD covers and other art work. We look forward to the new release and can't wait for you all to see the photos that have never been shared before. Simply.... it's going to be AWESOME!

We'll keep you posted...

5-07-04: RAISED ON ELVIS! ELVIS! ELVIS! A new book by Sandi Pichon. In between the time she sat with him on his motorcycle at his Audubon Drive home until the day she stood weeping by his coffin inside Graceland, Sandi was front row and center for ELVIS concerts all over the country. As a pre-teen in Memphis, she was there to witness a regional attraction which become a national obsession; she devoted years of her adult life to being part of his global audience, and has since dedicated herself to charities that pay homage to his iconic memory. Through several chance meetings with ELVIS himself and friendships with his inner circle Sandi was close enough to feel for the wonderful man that was living in the shadow of his awesome reputation.
