Bob Dylan

It's a very strange feeling to have Bob Dylan look right at you. Especially if he is performing. His eyes pierce into your soul. I wanted to share this photograph with others because I think those who... read more are enamored with the Dylan mystique, all want to feel he's looked them in the eye.

A very early set of images taken by Don for promotion of Bob Dylan's first album, titled 'Bob Dylan'.

I'd really like to shoot pictures of Bob Dylan and his band with full permission, but so far that has eluded me though I did go on a 'Bobquest' for a few years.. This image of Bob and bass player Tony... read more Garnier, snatched at an open air concert in Italy, sums up a beautiful partnership. The two 'banditos' have been on the road together for nearly 20 years. "A lot of people don’t like the road but it’s as natural to me as breathing. It’s the only place where you can be what you want to be." Bob Dylan 1997.

The remaining prints in this edition come complete with a certified 'Lex Van Rossen estate' stamp.

The office memorandum from Time-Life says "Herewith, Terry Spencer’s entire take on Bob Dylan at the Isle of Wight concert. Pictures are not very numerous as Dylan eventually came on stage at... read more 11pm and the lighting was not good enough to get him and The Band well in focus." The sheer intensity between Bob and Robbie Robertson in this image was missed by the person with the chinagraph.

Taken through a sea of hands this stolen image shows Dylan's 60 year old face alive with joy in his capacity as a performer. Why would he want to hide this beautiful sight? That was the real mystery to... read more me while I was on the 'Bobquest'. The answer came to me later: it probably gives too much away.
