We have a comment - Cool photographs found

I posted about the article in the UK Telegraph earlier today and it gathered this wonderful comment:
Thanks so much for picking up on the Telegraph item. I am the curator for the exhibition and I hope that the folks at the Experience Music Museum in Seattle will want to have the exhibition there next year. Drop them a line! The photographer was born in Brooklyn, and in 1968 headed north to Montreal where Life assigned him to cover the story. He spent the last 30 years of his life on the West Coast working and living aboard the MV Luigi. I have a book which is on Amazon and Indigo - Give Peace A Chance: John and Yoko's Bed-in for Peace 1969 (Wiley) by Joan Athey. Yes - as you observe, an interesting time in OUR history. And the message of peace even more relevant today. Cheers!
The website is here: Peace Works Now A quick heads up to whomever runs the site. My laptop is set at 1600X900 resolution and the left menu bar is badly clipped. It is usable but barely. (running 64-bit Vista with all the updates)

Quite the trip down memory lane. It is also a lot of fun to see the early Electronic News Gathering equipment in use -- the black and white camcorders that weighed 40 pounds and were tethered to a 70 pound "suitcase" Posted by DaveH at March 12, 2010 8:13 PM | TrackBack
