I was backstage with him and I was really puzzled by how little joy there was. He (Johnny Cash) was very serious in the entire series of pictures that I took of him. The very fact that he said it was OK to be back there was an honor and a gift, but when I looked at the pictures afterwards ... We all knew, subsequently, all the troubles that were going on in his mind, whether it was drinking, drugs, whatever it happened to be. And when I look at this, I see that all reflected. Now, the thing is, I was worried, because this was before the concert. I looked at him and I wondered how was he going to go out and put on a good show of any kind. But he did -- he went out and he put on a great show.
This Friday is the opening reception for Baron Wolman at Duncan Miller Projects Gallery. Baron was just 30 when approached by Jann Wenner approach him about helping to launch Rolling Stone and thus, became the magazine's first photographer for the next three years.
