About the image

"Before his San Francisco concerts in February 1968, we met Jimi at his motel on Fisherman’s Wharf. As the writer was interviewing a surprisingly quiet Jimi, I shot some informal portraits, one of which appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone Issue No. 26. It was impossible to take a bad photo of Hendrix; he was the most photogenic musician I ever encountered, whether he was in motion on the stage or at rest with his friends."

"What always amazed me about Jimi was that when you were with him and taking pictures for an interview of one form or another, he was just - at least the few times I was with him - he was quiet and very soft spoken." -- Baron Wolman 

Release Notes:
For most of his images, Baron Wolman offered signed limited edition photographs in the several sizes listed below. His black and white photographs were printed as silver gelatins, and his color photographs were C-prints. These were typically printed to order in New Mexico and then numbered, titled, and signed by him.

Collector's Notes:
Although he offered several sizes for each photograph, Baron's work was most often produced in the 11" x 14" and 16" x 20" sheet sizes.

When he passed, Baron Wolman left behind an archive of signed photographs that we are now offering in very limited supply for collectors.
