The Doors were coming out with two brilliant albums, and Joel Brodsky was honored to photograph the American Poet. The cover album, taken by Brodsky, was nominated for a Grammy.

Joel Brodsky was able to photograph the famous band, and show today's music that The Doors are here to stay. Joel Brodsky presents such a amazing photo of Jim Morrison that it is seen on pins, clothes, posters, etc. and we will continue to see this rock and roll sensation band in the future. I chose this photo because once again The Doors are one of my favorite rock and roll bands of all time. In addition, I have this photo taken by Joel Brodsky on a shirt. It is important to know what such great artists are being kept around and as well as the producer of the photograph.
