Henry Diltz, one of the most iconic rock and roll photographers, shares his stories of photographing Neil Young and the music legends of Laurel Canyon, Buffalo Springfield, and beyond.

Living in the heart of the music movement in Laurel Canyon, Henry was perfectly positioned to capture some of the most pivotal music moments, including Woodstock, the Monterey Pop Festival, The Doors' Morrison Hotel album cover, and his friend Neil Young.
