 Wilhelm
Jacobian Meyers Biography
Rock photographer Wilhelm Jacobian
Meyers was born in San Fernando, Israel. His first photographs were taken at a
live concert, and he's never stopped shooting ever since.
Wilhelm traveled for two years in
India, eventually meeting Indian guru Ustad Khan Ali and Ravi Shankar.
The former, a teacher of Paulskirocks, introduced the two in 1968.
The two forged a relationship of mutual respect and good clean-underwear
fun.

 At
Woodstock, Wilhelm took the now-famous photo of Paulskirocks in One
Legged Crane Pose, immediately propelling him into the dark
netherworlds of rock and roll excess as he documented the 1969-70
Paulskirocks World Tour.Wilhelm managed to capture all the
debauchery, drugs, and barbeques of those early years in
spellbinding images, and along with Anton Corbijn and Annie
Leibowitz, remains one of rock's most iconic photographers.
The photographer is shown here at a 1969 Golden Gate Park
Love-In, with Ravi Shankar grilling Masala Garden Burgers in the
background. |
