------------------Original session December 1977 -------------------------
By Jim Houghton (photo) + assistant unknown & Earl Steinbicker ( lightning)
Art direction Bob Defrin (Atlantic)

"Jim took the photo on Ektachrome film with a Hasselblad 500EL camera equipped with an 80mm Planar lens, using a  single Balcar studio strobe, umbrella reflector and a Calumet generator."

For the same session there were two different backgrounds or lightning, one most likely used for Powerage and the other for "Highway to hell"
 


 the two pics in the middle are almost the one from the album cover, we're getting closer but we're still missing the original pic from the cover.



 Powerage unused pics from session, some ended up on bootlegs and others in the press.

above new addition: Déc 2019
Never could find the original pic that was used for the cover of Powerage

What happened to Jim Houghton ?

He vanished many years ago, not even his family knows where he is or if he's still alive
