Let Me Stand Next To Your Fire

It was recently the 40th anniversary of Monterey Pop, the California festival that brought artists such as Jimi Hendrix and Laura Nyro to the world's attention. That's where my dear friend Ed Caraeff, then 15 years old, took what Jann Wenner once called "the most famous rock 'n roll photo ever" of Hendrix setting his guitar on fire.
Eddie, who went on to a successful photography career and is now an equally successful LA chef, was honored at the anniversary celebration for his work, and is shown here standing next to the photo display. Way to go, Eddie!
