We were just kids when we started buying records and I remember very well seeing his name on so many of the records I bought. The images took us places and fuelled our imagination. We wanted more! As a kid, I remember wondering how a guy like that got to take those photos? He made it look so casual, and he appeared to be everywhere! Every time I bought an album, there he was! Years later I learned about the photo gallery (and web site) in NYC, the Morrison Hotel. One of these years, when the dust settles in the US, I'll make a trip there. Diltz has a FB page too and often posts old images he took. It'd be very cool having one of his images framed and in the house. I'd probably go for something from Woodstock. I find in these turbulent times, I'm listening to a lot of that old music again, and even picked up a few LPs. The other day, I snagged a used copy of the Morrison Hotel...
