Larry Niven Picture Gallery

These images have been gathered from a variety of sources, and are, as much as I've been able to determine, in chronological order, the newest pictures are posted at the top.  For most of them, you can click on the "thumbnail" to download a larger version.

Picture submissions:  If you have a good snapshot of Larry which you have taken, possibly at a convention, then we would love to hear from you, email the webmasters with a possible view to including the shot here.

Larry with a Fi Carol Phillips visited Larry during the Thanksgiving period. Her gift to him from the webmasters was a toy Fi, which she had handmade holding its own miniture bottle of Glen Niven Whiskey. When Larry saw it he remarked, "obviously why the Fi lost the war!".

World Con 2002 Pictures:
Ted and Carol finally meet

At about 11.37 am local time, at San José airport on 28 August 2002, the long standing lack of any face to face contact between the three larryniven.org managers became a thing of the past. Carol Phillips stepped out of the passenger exit and we met.

It's been a long wait! Almost six years since we first made contact, as an outcome of our being subbed to the old Niven mail list, around 10 September 1996.

All three webmasters - in spirit anyway!

Nesssus unfortunately couldn't attend the Convention although she was there in spirit! Ted, Carol and Larry posed next to a blow up green alien.... a little photo manipulation later and whalla!

Larry's latest writing partner, Brenda Cooper was also at World Con. She posed with Ted and Carol too.
