"I was always taking pictures of fellow musicians like David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Mama Cass and Neil Young. These were all people I had known really well from playing in clubs - We all hung out at the Troubadour, which was a folk club in LA. Being a photographer means you can sneak under the circus tent, hang out back stage, and crouch in the corner." -Henry Diltz
 
  

 

"I like to let things unfold in front of me... to take pictures of everything that was going on. It was my way of passing time. I just enjoyed looking through that magic little window and capturing these scenes."

-Henry Diltz

 

In the world of rock n' roll photographers, there are none as extraordinary as Henry Diltz. A founding member of the Modern Folk Quartet, Diltz is 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's 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
