In honor of the 40th anniversary of Woodstock this weekend, I’ll be posting photos from my archive in the coming days.

Woodstock 1969//Bill Eppridge
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

Meeting Michael Lang

Michael Lang//Woodstock organizer

Woodstock ‘69 organizer Michael Lang does a little side-by-side comparison to see how he’s holding up 40 years after his festival. Overall, not bad! Same smile, same shaggy haircut. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Both photos by yours truly.

Cheerz,
Bill
