Why, that’s Barbara Hershey, circa 1967, at the very beginning of her career, at a Love In in Griffith Park, Los Angeles.

It’s one of more than 200 photos on display at the Southeast Museum of Photography in Daytona Beach, where an outstanding career retrospective of photographer and former canyonite Henry Diltz is on display through June.

Henry and I rocked the house at the museum Saturday night at a reception where I signed something like 30 copies of LAUREL CANYON and Henry held forth with customary aplomb…

Next, we adjourned to an overflow crowd at the Goddard Theater. I rambled through an otherwise plausible talk concerning the importance of place in the creative process—and Laurel Canyon’s unique contribution therein—before Henry joined me for a multi-media presentation of his own Laurel Canyon canon.

Great crowd, great museum. Thanks to SMP’s Kevin Miller, his ultracool staff, Daytona’s Barnes & Noble for selling my book at the event, and especially the people of Daytona Beach who braved rain and the Milwaukee-made thunder of a thousand-fold Harleys invading for the city’s annual Biker Week.
