Casey meanwhile is poring through the Jerry Stoll archive to save it for posterity, digitizing many images, and replacing old negative sleeves with new ones. He also hopes to interest a museum in an exhibit of his father's work in Northern California, where most of it was shot.

"None of this stuff was shot in a studio. It was all live stuff, documentary in a way," Casey says of his father's jazz and city photography. "No flash. All natural light. A lot of it is low light stuff, really beautiful."
