Another Altman?!

Only recently just found the film director Robert Altman had a namesake who was just as creative. Wonderful photographs of the era that means so much to me!Actually this is worth noting and exploring Robert Altman has taken some seminal classic shot perhaps my favourite shot of Jim Morrison, several of poets like Alan Ginsberg, certain iconic shot of Tim Leary and Baba Ram Dass. Truly extraordinary of a labyrinthine website. Go explore I spent an afternoon there!
