Our Product Story

The Morrison Hotel Gallery is about people, the most inspiring and iconic images of music and musicians photographed over the last fifty-plus years and the people who existed on both sides of the lens. We as people can't live forever, but it seems as though the images do.

For Diltz, the pictures began at age 27 with a defective $20 second hand Japanese camera purchased on tour with the MFQ. When MFQ disbanded, he embarked on his photographic career with an album cover for The Lovin' Spoonful. Despite his lack of formal training, Diltz easily submerged himself in the world of music: the road, the gigs, the humor, the social consciousness, the psychedelia, the up and down times.
His low-key style has landed him shots in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, People, Rolling Stone, and Billboard, to name a few. Henry was also the official Woodstock photographer as well as the official Monterey Pop Festival photographer. Diltz, along with art director Gary Burdon, have created over 200 album covers for such artists as The Doors, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Eagles, James Taylor and Mama Cass.
