#RIP Baron Wolman
"To get Tiny Tim to relax we brought him a bouquet of flowers. To get Frank Zappa to relax we simply allowed him to be Frank."
This photo of TT showed up on the cover of Rolling Stone, July 6th, 1968. Wolman's Zappa is legendary; this is also from 1968.
Coincidentally, last night I posted 5 Baron Wolman portraits, for no particular reason. Here's a great shot to remember the fine photographer #RIP
Joni Mitchell, at home in Laurel Canyon, 1968
Blue, 1970
"With the widest angle lens I had at the moment - probably only 24mm - I tried to capture the feeling of 300,000 plus folks gathered in peace for the purpose of enjoying themselves and the music."
This shot by Baron Wolman is my favourite Woodstock photograph. #RIP
