Rock
on: The Photographs (2006)
TIP
Author: Henry Diltz & Graham Nash
As a pioneer of rock photography, official photographer at Woodstock
and the Monterey Pop festivals, and a close friend of many of his
subjects both then and now, Henry Diltz has created indelible images of
icons including the Beatles, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin,
The Mamas & The Papas, Joni Mitchell, The Rolling Stones and Crosby
Stills Nash & Young. He is still following and shooting rising
stars, most recently Holly Williams, Hank Williams is granddaughter;
even as he has also begun a new life as the proprietor of a gallery in
SoHo that showcases his classic and current work. It's called the
Morrison Hotel, after his ubiquitous Doors album cover. Through the
years Diltzís work has focused not only on the famous--whom he catches
in intimate moments at home, on the road, in studios and on stage--but
on the culture and aesthetic of rock music, unique from its inception.
Rock On investigates that world.
It also includes a foreword by Graham Nash.
