b'Henry\\xa0Diltz\\xa0is an extraordinary rock n roll photographer unlike any other. A founding member of the Modern Folk Quartet,\\xa0Diltz\\xa0is as much at home as a musician on tour, as he is a visual historian of the last four decades of popular music. The rapport he\\u2019s developed with his musician friends, along with his down-to-earth-grin and frequent laugh, enables him to capture the candid shots that convey a rare feeling of trust and intimacy with his subjects\\n\\n\\nFor\\xa0Diltz, the pictures began with a $20 second-hand Japanese camera purchased on tour with the Modern Folk Quartet. When MFQ disbanded, he embarked on his photographic career with an album cover for The Lovin\\u2019 Spoonful. Despite his lack of formal training,\\xa0Diltz\\xa0easily submerged himself in the world of music: the road, the gigs, the humor, the social consciousness, the psychedelia, the up and down times.\\n\\n\\nFor over 40 years, his work has graced hundreds of album covers and has been featured in books, magazines and newspapers. His unique artistic style has produced powerful photographic essays of Woodstock , The Monterey Pop Festival, The Doors, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Jimi Hendrix and scores of other legendary artists.\\xa0Diltz\\xa0continues his distinguished career, generating new and vibrant photographs that inspire the rock n\\u2019 roll fan in each of us. Henry\\xa0Diltz\\xa0is a partner in, and is exclusively published and represented by the Morrison Hotel Gallery.\\n\\n\\n\\u201cThis is not history, this is evidence!\\u201d\\n\\n- Glenn Frey, Eagles\\n\\n\\n\\u201cI\\u2019m the drummer, you\\u2019re the photographer, it\\u2019s as simple as that.\\u201d\\n\\n- Ringo Starr\\n\\n\\n\\u201cEarly on in his career, Henry mastered the art of capturing the moment. What he has proved over the decades is the illusive art of capturing life\\u201d\\n\\n- Gerry Beckley, America'
