Entry Description

All film from the Hendrix' first London shoot 1967 was lost by the magazine in a flood and eaten by rats. I kept one frame that was mis-laid for 43 years but found in 2010 in a Santa Monica garage covered in fungus and slime. It took more than 3 years to clean and restore to its original look, 2014.
