Alas the Gallery that is showing his photos wont grace us with the photos so many of us are familiar with.Jim Morrison snuk in to hotel so Henry could snap what was to be Album cover while owner was preocupied not knowing they were there.He was the muso with the camera.His friends were rising rock stars and was happy to get a $100 for early one of Buffalo Springfield Band,later Crosby Stills @ Nash.I am sorry for lack of images.
