JIM MORRISON OF THE DOORS, NEW YORK CITY, 1967 LINER NOTES In 1967, photographer Joel Brodsky took a series of black and white portraits of The Doors and Jim Morrison, known as "The Young Lion" photo session. This photograph is considered to be the most iconic image of Morrison. The shot on the inner sleeve of the Greatest Hits album was pretty near the end, I think. By that time, he was so drunk he was stumbling into the lights and we had to stop the session. He wasn't a wild drunk - actually he was kind of quiet - but his equilibrium wasn't too terrific. Still, he was great to photograph because he had a very interesting look. It seemed like a good session to me…Morrison never really looked that way again, and those pictures have become a big part of The Doors' legend. I think I got him at his peak - Joel Brodsky SIZE 16" x 20" MEDIUM Platinum print. VALUE $3,000 - $3,750 STARTING BID $2,400 Notes Each limited edition print is estate stamped.
