Before she married Paul, Linda Eastman was one of the most preeminent photographers capturing the 60's rock scene. Her intimate body of work documents the rise of the Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Creme, The Who, Bob Dylan, The Doors, Simon & Garfunkel, Kinks, Traffic, Aretha Franklin, The Animals, Grateful Dead, Neil Young, Otis Redding, and many others.
Her career began as receptionist for Town & Country Magazine, where in 1966, she used an unwanted invitation to a Rolling Stones record launch party held at the SS Sea Panther, on the Hudson River, to launch her photography career. The young photographer took full advantage of the opportunity by documenting the event, and photographing the band. Later, she was asked to be the photographer at Bill Graham's Fillmore East, the legendary venue that launched many of rock's luminaries. Linda's access enabled her the snap exclusive, spontaneous, and relaxed, behind-the-scenes moments, that chronicled the music of an era.
