Carpet Veins

These are two of my favourite photos of The Doors. I first saw these photos when I was about 10 years old & I have never stopped wondering what they were thinking about… or what happened to that amazing carpet; to me it looked like the veins on an arm & they were all coming out of Jim Morrison. It’s possible these photos are the reason I became obsessed with the veins in my own arms & spent years carving them up, who knows, perhaps I was looking for a Door.

    Violet—Good post on yours. If it’s OK, contributing my recent post on a Grateful Dead/Big Brother & the Holding Company/Quicksilver Messenger concert from the glorious days of 1967. I will have an interesting guest post on the Doors in about 3 days. 🙂
