"Urge to come to terms with the "Outside", by absorbing, interiorizing it. I won't  come out, you must come in to me. Into my womb-garden where I peer out. Where I can construct a universe within the skull, to rival the real.".  (Jim Morrison, from “The Lords: Notes on Vision”)

Photographer Bobby Klein talks about this photo shoot: “We arrived in Venice in the morning and walked along the canals. This bridge has been preserved in its original form in Venice, which was designed in the early 1900s. On the way there, in my car, the guys heard ”Break On Through" on the radio for the first time," and everyone was delighted. They understood what it was like to have a hit.

The Doors by Bobbi Klein, 1967

I received an Aztec wall


of vision


& dissolved my room in


sweet derision


Closed my eyes, prepared to god


A gentle wind inform’d me so


And bathed my skin in ether glow
