INSIDE THE MAGIC BUS Pictured here is Ken Kesey's
second Magic Bus. It is on the way to the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame and Museum. I was hired by them to shoot the Kesey party
at the Fillmore Auditorium. The first bus rotted away in field
in Oregon. This 'new' bus is going to be inducted at the Hall
of Fame in Ohio and the Fillmore is one of it's celebrated stops.
The Hall of Fame supplied new tires to help make it a safe journey.
Neal Cassady was one of the original drivers. His son, John is
a driver on this second bus. |

KEN KESEY / FILLMORE Writer, Merry Prankster and college
teacher, Ken Kesey, is enjoying the party while listening to
Country Joe, Big Brother and other groups performing for him
and the specially invited fans in attendance. His Magic Bus is
going to be inducted at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the
Fillmore is one of its celebrated stops on it's way to Ohio.
For some reason, my camera was on a slow shutter speed and by
accident, I captured some of the atmosphere of the event. |

POSTER ARTIST VICTOR MOSCOSO Victor Moscoso was one of the top three poster artists during the Haight-Ashbury period along with Stanley Mouse and Wes Wilson. He is at the Summer of Love 30th anniversary exhibit at the Ansel Adams Center Gallery. His Fillmore and Family Dog posters are just as great today. He is still doing amazing art, now using the computer. |

FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF GINSBERG'S
DEATH Michael McClure and Zen master
and poet Philip Whalen and I are celebrating Allen's passing.
It had been one year. Michael asked me if I wanted to come along
and I felt so honored. Ginsberg and Whalen had the most impact
on my soul. I never met anyone like them, calm spirits. I knew
Philip was having difficulty seeing so I printed up a larger
version of Allen so he could see him. |

PHILIP WHALEN'S ZEN CEREMONY
FOR ALLEN Philip Whalen is leading the
Zen ceremony for Allen Ginsberg. Meeting and photographing Ginsberg
and Whalen had the most impact on my soul. I never met anyone
as centered like them. McClure had the most impact on my mind. |
