John Byrne Cooke
John Byrne Cooke didn’t just witness the 1960s music scene - he lived it. A musician turned photographer, Cooke was embedded in the heart of the counterculture, from the folk revival of Cambridge to the acid-drenched stages of San Francisco. As road manager for Janis Joplin and Big Brother and the Holding Company, his camera was always close - capturing Dylan, Hendrix, Baez, and more with the kind of access only an insider could get.
His images are intimate, honest, and steeped in the spirit of a generation that changed music forever.
