"Photographer Joel Bernstein has tales that boggle the mind, like accidentally shooting the cover of Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush" as a high school student...you'll love his stories!"

  1. Apparently it does. However, our contemporarians are engaged otherwise, maybe hanging on to their hats and wallets, shuffling their assets. All that in order to weather incoming inflation surges. Neil Young is in the studio and anticipation grows with the open minded. The other ones are expecting rain...

  3. Enjoyed listening to Joel on Bob's podcast. It's a long listen but he has had so many interesting experiences I could have happily listened to more.. A very talented guy and comes across very well. I knew some of his story but I was fascinated to hear how he got first started.

  4. Thank you so much for this. I've always loved Joel's work and to hear him talk about his life is wonderful. There is something about the way he (like Nils and Cameron) was accepted at such a young age by Joni, Elliot, Neil, Graham and the whole Laurel Canyon scene that I struggle to get my head around. But it points to how kind, constructive and hard working all these people were. It is sometimes easy to assume people got into the scene by just being in the right place at the right time, though the way Joel talks about how much time he spent on learning Joni's songs and mastering photography shows how you need to have a driving passion. Often, one makes one's own luck in life.
