Eric Senich interviews me about my new book, “Jukebox: Photographs 1967 – 2023,” on his latest podcast. We spoke for nearly an hour and a half about the musicians I photographed including Van Morrison, the Sex Pistols, Jim Morrison and many others. I talk about the first rock festival in the country and photographing Jim Morrison when I was only 13 years old. I talk about photographing and interviewing Jerry Garcia when I was 17, and how loose things were in the late 60s and 70s. Hanging out with musicians and photographing them in their hotel rooms or backstage.

I think it’s an interesting conversation that people who are into music will enjoy. Watch the Youtube version here. Or just listen here.

Recently the San Francisco Chronicle ran a story on the book and I that you can read here. ” … his images across the ’70s offer a snapshot of a bygone era when access to artists was more open,” writes Brandon Yu.”…The book is also a panorama of San Francisco at that time as a vibrant hub for music and where the “countercultural bohemian” ethos from the decade prior had a longer shelf life than the rest of the country. “
