Our new baby is here! The Woodstock Story Book is the product of Linanne’s fertile imagination and belief in me. From the very first time she learned that I was the still photographer on the Academy Award winning film, Woodstock, and from the first time she laid eyes on my slides, she’s been insisting that I had enough images, and a wide enough range of images, to do a book of my own. In the beginning, I demurred, not believing enough in myself, but her constant encouragement, her sending my photos to be converted into high quality Tiffs, and her creation of our web site, Woodstock Witness.com, made me a believer.
And as of 1 February, our baby is available for the world to see on Amazon. Alibris and Baker and Taylor have it as well. So check it out, and order a copy or two for yourself, or as a gift for a friend. And join in on the blog about those heady days of summer, amidst the run-up to the fortieth anniversary of this great event.
It’s hard to believe that 40 years have passed since those days in August when 500,000 of us gathered in Max Yasgur’s field to celebrate our music, our bodies, our beliefs, and our lives.
