nice album
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Ginsberg's on-and-off fascination with photography left some nice intimate records of the lives around him. We see a slim and young full-mopped Ginsberg, seen smiling on a ship "smoking what," and candid shots of Burroughs, Kerouac, and other less famous Beats as they interacted with each other. You will find that there's much more to the camaraderie of these guys than just trying to get laid (re: the other review).
