Road trip, April 1964
Cambridge, Massachusetts…
“In April 1964, the photographer John Byrne Cooke took a road trip through New England with Bob Dylan, Victor Maymudes, John Sebastian, Paul Rothchild (who later became The Doors’ manager) and Cooke’s fellow photographer Charlie Frizzell.”

Photograph courtesy of Charlie Frizzell.

This photograph is also featured in the trailer for the movie ‘For The Love of the Music’, a film about Club 47.”

Another cartop photo taken at the same time. Don’t know if it was snapped by Betsy Siggins or one of the other camera jockeys along for the ride that day. Speaking of camera jockeys, Dylan was often seen wielding one of the little picture-taking contraptions. Which photos are identified as actually having been taken by Mr. D himself?

Bob Dylan and Charlie Frizzell at the Brandeis Folk Festival, Waltham, April 1964. Photograph courtesy of John Byrne Cooke.

“Charlie had become interested in photography at 14, on his first job at a camera shop. However, his passion for shooting photos truly blossomed during a four-year apprenticeship he entered in 1964 with the respected commercial photographer, Bob O’Shaughnessy, the man Charlie dubbed his “guru.” As his skills developed, Charlie started using his camera to document the burgeoning folk music revival scene in and around Cambridge, Mass. His talents were soon recognized and Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Mose Allison were among the top musicians Charlie was photographing. There were also gigs doing album covers for such popular performers as Geoff and Maria Muldaur, the Jim Kweskin Jug Band, and Doc Watson.”

David Gahr, December 1971, New York

“One winters day I called Bobby and asked him if he would like to go photographing with me in the Village. It was 1971 and damn cold but I put a camera with a wide-angle lens in his hands andwe ended up on the Lower East Side where he took photos, which revealed his mischievous talent. The Lower East Side habitué lifted a marvelous eyebrow just as I touched the release shutter.” — David Gahr

Barry Feinstein, 1966:

Feinstein’s “Real Moments” caption:

“Savoy Hotel, London, 1966
This is the Savoy Hotel in London. Bob picked up Pennebaker’s movie camera. He loved shooting with it, but I don’t know if any of his footage made the cut.”

Bob Stacy points out that Feinstein’s recollection of the hotel might be mistaken. In 1965, Dylan and company (no Feinstein that trip) stayed in the Savoy. In 1966, in London the tour party was at the Mayfair Hotel – at least when they first got to the UK and that’s where the London press conference was. Following Paris when they got back to London, perhaps they stayed at the Savoy or dined there.
