A good friend of mine is working on a project, and is in need of old pictures of Richard Garfield, testing Magic, if at all possible.

Help? 

If anyone has leads, or photos, they'd be much appreciated.

I think this is going to be a tall order... this was before digital cameras and cellphone cameras were the norm...

Maybe try contacting Peter or Gary Adkison through FB?

I asked around a few playtesters and early Wizards employees for just such a photo when I was researching my book. But no-one had one, from the people I asked. It's possible that one is out there though and I would be certainly be interested to hear if you did turn one up.

I did hear from some people that a picture was taken of the emergency meeting WOTC had to discuss strategy after Gencon 93. It was at this meeting that the idea of expansions and Arabian Nights was birthed. But either the people I asked about this picture didn't have it anymore, couldn't remember taking it or didn't want it out there in the wider world.
