After discussing it with my wife Nancy, who thought it was a good idea and a promising photo opportunity, I was enthusiastic to go for the experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMy students were delighted that I'd be joining them. Besides, they needed me to drive us to Philadelphia from Long Island, New York. So off we went for whatever adventure might lay ahead. I carefully packed my three 35mm cameras and plenty of black and white film to record the event.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecently, I was inspired to revisit the contact sheets from that day and choose images that still spoke to me after so many years. Here are some of those photographs I took on June 17th at JFK Stadium, surrounded by 90,000 \u003cem\u003eRolling Stones\u003c\/em\u003e fans who were so open to my camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne footnote... Bill and Chris, my two students, are still in touch and we are good friends to this day.
