“I became like a band member whose instrument was the camera.”

One of the things I find interesting about photography in general are the photographers. Who is that mysterious person behind the lens? Linda McCartney was probably the first leading female rock photographer of the Sixties and one of my favorite photographers of all time. I actually have a couple of posts planned about Linda, but on this one, instead of focusing on the future icons she photographed, I'll focus on their photos of her.

Photoshoot: Jim Morrison and Pamela Courson for Themis

The Beatles weren't the only rockstars to open a clothing boutique. Jim Morrison bought Themis for his girlfriend, Pamela Courson. Themis was said to have peacock feathers on the ceiling and clothing imported form around the world. In this photoshoot Jim, Pam, and their friends model some of the beautiful clothing that was available at Themis.
