The Doors

πŸ“Έ Photographer Spotlight: Bobby Klein

Klein was one of the first photographers to work with The Doors, shooting them throughout 1966 and 1967 as they rose to fame. He photographed the band at the Venice Canals, in front of their famous Sunset Strip billboard in Los Angeles, and by the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

Klein’s early images helped define The Doors’ public image just as their debut album was being released. He later went on to become a licensed psychologist and spiritual counselor, working in that field for decades.

Forever greatful the emotion now felt in memory for one late Saturday night while lying in bed listening to an old AM radio. Local midnight DJ of hay seed local spinning pop songs of current top forty, saying: Never heard here locally until now, a new band from LA, listen up out there -- hear Light My Fire. Then silence but barely a second when in basement darkness heard the iconic opening organ riff. Thereafter unleashed a listening mind did adrift in parallel a heart experienced an uplift.

As I seem to recall in the book No One Here Gets Out Alive, that fourth picture was The Doors' first publicity photo and was never used.
