The album cover photo at Woodstock and its photographer, Burk Uzzel. [View all]

"But the Woodstock cover has become one of the most recognizable pictures in the whole history of photography, and when I die, you know, they'll do this little thing, "'Well, he's the guy that took the picture on the 'Woodstock' album.'" Well, that's fine with me, it's a lovely photograph, you know, I did it well, and it's there for all the world to see. And that's fine by me. I love that idea.

You know, it's about communication. You know, we take pictures because we want to give people what we feel, and what we feel is important to see. They have to feel it, too. Otherwise, why bother? Why would I want to take pictures if I wasn't going to let other people try to feel what I felt?"
