a woodstock moment – 40+ years later

—

on a whim, a young duo went to the legendary festival

only to be captured in a memorable image

two in half a million:

bobbi kelly and nick ercoline greet the dawn

on august 17, 1969.

“this is the way to hear music, i think,

surrounded by rolling hills and farmlands, under a big sky.”
