It was brutally hot during Woodstock ‘69 (as swampy hot as it is right now) – which is why the festival’s revelers were all jumping into the waterfall that led to the farm pond to cool off. (© Bill Eppridge.)
In anticipation of the 40th anniversary of Woodstock (yep, it’s been that long), the folks over at the New York Times Lens blog have done an excellent audio slideshow of my photos from the hallowed music festival. Please check ‘em out.
In addition, Monroe Gallery has put up a nice online photo essay of pictures from throughout 1969 – including some of my own (like this one).
Check back here in the coming days. I’ll be putting some of my other Woodstock shots online.
Cheerz – and thanks for reading,
Bill

Bill is too modest to mention his photographs are also featured in the current “A Thousand Words: Masters of Photojournalism” on view at Monroe Gallery through September 27.

Glad I have found your blog, Mr. Eppridge. I enjoy your photographs very much, and hope there is book planned that features all of them.
