Rock & Roll Seen Los Angeles through the Lens of Chuck Boyd, 1965-1969
Presented by Jeff Schwartz (Director, Chuck Boyd Photo Collection)
Photographer Chuck Boyd was embedded in the Los Angeles rock & roll scene of the 1960s. A professional photographer, he left behind a collection of nearly 30,000 images of music legends spanning two decades. His photo collection is now overseen by Jeff Schwartz and Chuck’s siblings. Jeff is an award-winning teacher, author, and music historian. He will share images from Chuck’s archives, discuss “rock & roll archaeology,” and talk about Chuck’s life and the challenges of directing a photo archive.
This FREE program in the series The Photographer’s Eye is presented by Photo Friends: Formed in 1990, Photo Friends is a nonprofit organization that supports the Los Angeles Public Library’s Photo Collection/History & Genealogy Department. Our goal is to improve access to the collections and promote them through programs, events, and online exhibits. You are invited to bring your lunch to this noontime series.
