Julius and Peter Orlovsky, Robbie Robertson & Dylan in City Lights The Orlovsky brothers, Robbie Robertson and Bob Dylan in the City Lights basement waiting to escape. The door to the basement is locked, people are trying to break it down. Dylan is here to be photographed for Blonde on Blonde with McClure and Ginsberg. Finally, we climbed out a window and ran down the alley so we could have a private session. |

McClure, Dylan and Ginsberg, North Beach This session was arranged the night before at a party after Bob Dylan's concert at the Berkeley Community Theater. Allen Ginsberg introduced me to Dylan and we arranged to do a photo session (for the Blonde on Blonde album) the same day as the Beat's last gathering at City Lights Books. At City Lights we hid out in the basement with Dylan and when the people started to break the door down we climbed out a window and ran down the alley and took this photograph. I was in college and living at home during the Beat period. I had to mow the lawn before I could borrow the car and go to San Francisco to shoot this photo and the City Lights Books last gathering of the Beats event. |
