If you’re in or around Hollywood, California, and you love great photography…read on.
Gilbert B. Weingourt, photographer for 40 years, was THERE — back in the day — in the late ’60s when social and political activists were changing the world as we knew it. He worked for the East Village Other and as a bartender at The Scene in Greenwich Village. He also spent time in Los Angeles in those days where he met and photographed well-known singers, musicians, and actors as well.
