Welcome to our first blog. I was the still photographer on the Woodstock film, and was at the Festival from Tuesday, 12 August to Monday, 18 August. For nearly a week, I shot so many pictures with my two cameras (a Nikon and Pentax), that I got blisters on the index finger and thumb of my right hand from clicking the shutter and advancing the film.
And during those 6 days, the only sleep I had was on stage on the piano blanket during Blood, Sweat & Tears.
Now, forty years later, the chickens are coming home to roost. I’ve met and married the most wonderful woman in the world, Linanne Sackett, and we have a new book out, THE WOODSTOCK STORY BOOK with hundreds of photographs from those glorious days in August, 1969, with a new hardcover version about to be published. It’s being sold on Amazon.com, and the new version will be handled by every book store in the land, and even those abroad.
In addition, I’ve been honored by being selected as the featured artist of the Biografilm Festival and my photos of Woodstock will be on display on gigantic billboards, on trollies and busses in Rome, Bologna, and Milan. Linanne and I are being flown to Bologna and feted throughout the festival, from 10 June to 15 June, and we’re also going out on the summer rock and roll festival circuit.

Hi, I’m writing a story about Woodstock for the NY Times. I’d love to see a copy of your book and arrange for an interview. How can I contact you?

I exhibited my paintings at the 1969 Woodstock Festival. Most people don’t remember that there was actually an art show there. I’m wondering if you have any photos of the art show, either in your book or among your unpublished works. You can read about my Woodstock experience and leave me messages at my blog, Julie Lomoe’s Musings Mysterioso, at http://julielomoe.wordpress.com
