Elliott Landy’s photographs of Bob Dylan, the Band, Jimi Hendrix, and Woodstock (he was the official photographer) are well known to rock-and-roll-photography aficionados. And even to those who aren’t: He shot Van Morrison for the cover of Moondance, Dylan for the cover of Nashville Skyline, and the Band for their self-titled second album. He’s lived in Woodstock for five decades, and you can’t throw a beeswax candle in that town without hitting one of his iconic images.

Landy may be synonymous with the 60s, but his new Kickstarter campaign is totally 2013. He set it up last weekend to fund production of a book featuring his photos, some of them never before seen, of the Band. (He needs about $65,000, and he’s already accumulated $35,000.) And unlike some crowd-funders we could name, he’s not looking to take your money and give you nothing in return. A mere $1,000, for example, will get you a deluxe limited edition of the book—which he says will likely run either 128 or 144 pages—as well as one of four 16-by-20-inch fine-art pigment prints. The prints alone normally cost upwards of $750 apiece.

If you pledge $10,000 or more, you’ll get an afternoon visit to Landy’s studio and lunch with the ultimate keeper of the Woodstock flame. “I’m happy to have things that I can give to people,” Landy told me on the phone. “And I enjoy meeting people who appreciate the work.” Having visited the studio myself, I can report that the experience is singular. For starters, what other photographer can you name who has dozens of stacked Kodak photographic paper boxes labeled “HENDRIX,” “DYLAN,” and “JANIS”? He might even let you peek into them if you ask politely, provided you wear a pair of white cotton gloves to protect the work.

Landy’s campaign page is extremely well put together—which, let’s face it, is something of a surprise coming from a man of his generation and … inclinations. “It’s not the effort of a guy who’s always stoned,” says Landy, “because I’m not. At least not anymore. But I do try to be stoned in a spiritual way at all times.”
