What a great photo javier, thanks a lot.
In the other photos we have of Elvis in this leather jacket he wears a light-coloured shirt under the jacket so this one is from a different day.
My guess would be sometime around November 1956 like the others we have.

Thanks Brian

In this photo Elvis is with black hair. Do you know the approximate date he took the dye?.
Maybe that will help us.

(The photo are in same position of my avatar :D )

On October 29, 1956 Elvis filmed a new ending for "Love Me Tender" at the Junco Studio, and Elvis' hair was dyed black.

Awesome image.

Is that a little bit of the house at 1034 Audubon behind him?

Given the vent, he may be kneeling. I also suspect this image is cropped.

I've had a look at all my photos from Audubon Drive and I can't seem to find any place that would fit the background in the above photo.

You got any guess as to where on the house it could be Doc??

It almost looks like the inside of a garage door behind his head

Yeah, that was my first thought as well but shouldn't we be able to see the windows in the door then??

We should unless the door is not all the way down. And if its the garage at Audobon were there windows on both back and front doors?

James, I don't think there was a garage door at the back.
Take a look at this photo from Nov 1, 1956. I only think he had a door installed at the front.
561101-Audubon-01-bripet56.jpg
But it does actually look like it was taken at the inside of the front door. There is definitely the same structure in both photos.

Quite possible, I'll try to boost the photo tonight for more detail. Check out the other April thread if you get a few minutes though, we'd like to get your input on a photo.

Well, James' blowup proves that Elvis is wearing a dark shirt in the photo in question, a light one on the bike.

James, I'd say the photo is definitely taken with the inside of the garage door in the background.

No thoughts on this, Brian?

it might indicate the photos are from different days.

I think he acknowledged that in his first post and then posted the picture on the bike in reference to the garage door. I didn't note the details in the door he saw when I posted the blowup until just now.

I was still trying to ID this thing in the bottom corner, which I thought to be the mirror to one of the bikes. It's not from anything on the Harley's though. It looks like a piece of crome with a taillight on it also.

As James already stated I never thought the photos were from the same date which I pointed out in my first post. I posted the Nov1 photo so we could compare the inside of the garagedoor and see if this was where the photo was taken.
With James' blowup it clearly shows that it was indeed taken inside the garage.
