JIMI HENDRIX

I took these photographs while Jimi was on tour in England in April, 1967. The garden of an overnight hotel in Lincoln provided the background for this morning shoot. June Southworth of the magazine FAB 208 and I had travelled on the tour coach with Jimi.
Having the opportunity to sit close and to chat with him for hours on the coach, we felt that we were beginning to know him a little more intimately and to detect aspects of his character not usually displayed on stage.
We glimpsed an intelligent and surprisingly gentle, almost meditative side to his nature. This is what I have attempted to capture here.
