THE STORY BEHIND THE PHOTO: This particular copy of this photo was included in Mr. Hartman's 1999 photo exhibition at VH-1 headquarters in New York City. Per a request from VH-1, Mr. Hartman provided them with The Story Behind The Photo, for each of the photos included in that exhibition, which they typed up and placed on the back of each photo. An image of that story has been posted here as well as a copy of the promo postcard issued for that exhibition. BACKGROUND: My journey into celebrity photography began in 1964, taking photos of baseball players. As the years went by and I became more interested in music, I began taking photos of rock & roll musicians. In the early years, I used an "Instamatic," type camera, then gradually upgraded my camera equipment over the years. I have photographed many of the biggest names in rock & roll, with my off-stage, candid photos being particularly popular. I have taken a number of historic photographs, including Elvis Presley, off-stage, six weeks before he passed away and extensive photos of The Who during the 1979 concert tragedy in Cincinnati. In 1998, I published a book of my photos, "Guess Who's Coming to Cincinnati." I have also had several exhibitions of my photos, including at VH-1 headquarters in New York. For a couple of brief periods between 1999 and 2001, I offered signed and numbered limited edition copies of some of my photos. Time limitations prevented me from making my photos available more often. I had long planned to resume offering my photos but my time has always been very limited and I did not have the time to put in the work required to make it happen. I recently decided to set aside some time to make some of my photos available once again.
