"This is Rock and Roll photography from the 60s. These are the photographers that were There. They were filming Jimi Hendrix, Janice Joplin, The Doors, everybody back in the 60s.

Mick Jagger
Mick Jagger
It's Jim Marshall from San Francisco, Baron Wolman from Santa Fe, and Michael Zagaris from San Francisco. These are the icons of Rock-n-Roll photography. It's 'Backstage Pass' because these days photographers don't get the flexibility to live backstage with the stars and hang up with them like they did.

So, we have forty photographs. Uncensored, and the exhibition will be here for two months... We have Jimi Hendrix, Janice Joplin, The Doors, Frank Zappa, Grace Slick, Peter Townsend, The Who, The Beatles, everybody that you loved during the 60s is on the wall. Some performance shots, some backstage. some Santana, really everybody.

I saw some of their work in San Diego and when I decided I would try to do a gallery here in Taos, I knew that I wanted to pick this as the opening exhibition..."
