Breakdown: Guest DJ Project with Henry Diltz

You may not be aware of the name, but I guarantee you, if you’re a fan of music from the late 1960s and early 1970s, you’ve seen a lot of the work of photographer and musician Henry Diltz.

My favorite picture of his has to be this one of Richard Pryor, which I believe he said was taken in the Bay Area, either Frisco or Berkeley.

He also took this picture of Michael Jackson back in the 1971.
