Photographers notes: "I met Daniel while attending the University of Texas at Austin and had the good fortune of bringing my Hasselblad to a club named "The Beach" on the night of Daniel's first club performance in 1983. The photograph is featured in the Award winning film "The Devil in Daniel Johnston" in which Kathy McCarty of the band Glass Eye remembers that Daniel was terrified to be on stage!"
