My annual royalty check from Avanti Press came today. They sold $28,571.87 worth of my Squirrel Photographer Greeting Card.

Always a great surprise. I forgot about it and it came a day early, whoopie!!!!

A new book by Alan Graham, Jim’s brother-in-law, called “I Remember” will be released on March 14.

“As intimate a portrait of Jim Morrison’s character and the forces which shaped his life and death as the reader is ever likely to encounter…”

Alan’s personal account of these events provides rare glimpses and intimate insights into the other side of Jim Morrison and the people who loved him.

Check out the new book here!

Alan also has several podcasts, including The House of Detention. You can listen to it online or subscribe here. He also has a forum site, LizardKingLounge.com.

Today I posted my Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention photographs to gallery.TreeO.com. These photographs were taken in 1969 at Thee Image Club in Miami. They were taken one week before the Led Zeppelin photographs. Here is one of my favorites. Prints are available for sale at the gallery. Just click on the photograph below to see the rest of the images.

Today a good friend of Patricia Morrison’s, Jim’s wife, presented her with a framed print of Jim Morrison #9. She was thrilled and told me, “Thank you! The picture, hand-delivered by Fernand yesterday, is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much for being part of the surprise. Fernand is a dear young friend, and it was so considerate and kind of him to give me the photo for my birthday. Anyway, the picture is lovely. Now I just need to figure out where to hang it. Again thanks.”

Today is the anniversary of the Doors Concert in Miami, the infamous venue where Jim Morrison was supposed to have exposed himself. Read my story about the event here. I was there photographing the concert and subsequently ended up testifying at Jim’s trial as his first defense witness.
