Most people were taking pictures of Elvis and his memorabilia. I took this picture for the microphone.
This was the microphone that everyone was posing with and taking pictures with. Apparently there are only 6 of these mics in existence. It has been pointed out to me that I should clarify that this mic was used by Elvis and others, which is why it was the mic to take pictures with. 
This picture almost captured the whole room. The control room is in front. It's amazing what kind of magic can come out of such a small room. It just goes to show that you don't need a big fancy studio with million dollars in gear to make a good record.
This mixing board is what U2 recorded three of the songs on their Rattle and Hum album onto. They did those songs at Sun as part of a visit into America's Heartland. One of the songs they sang with BB King. Being a big U2 fan the memorabilia aspect of this was significant, but what was more amazing was how small a board they used. I can't say I used a much bigger board when I was running shows in San Francisco.
America epitomized with the red convertible outside of Sun Studios. On the left the smaller building is the actual studio. On the right is a converted restaurant in which a lot of studio business was conducted.
Not sure why I took this photo as this wasn't even the studio entrance. It is the entrance to the restaurant next door. Oh well.
