“Hey kid, you can’t bring that in here.” Al Rendon was 16, and the camera in his hand belonged to his high school. He had just shot a Leon Russell concert two weeks before and had no problem getting his camera in. For Al, the camera was like Jimmy Page’s guitar: part of his body, like breathing.
“Somehow, some way, I learned to convince people that I should be able to shoot my photographs. I told the guy at that Led Zepplin concert the same thing I would tell hundreds of others like him: ‘I’ll turn you on to all the pictures you want, and if you can arrange it, I’ll shoot you with the band.’ Worked 9 out of ten times.” He quickly established a network of radio disk jockeys, concert promoters, record reps and band managers. He provided pictures and he shot a host of performances. His camera captured 20 critical years of rock n roll: from 1973 – 1993, rock turned the amps up loud and let it all bang out. Photos from the Rendon RocknRoll collection are available as digital archival prints.
