Through the Eyes of an Easy RiderBy David Jenison | Tuesday, October 20, 2009 11:00 AM ET
The popular actor was inseparable from his camera during the '60s, photographing everything from film sets and celebrity parties to political events and everyday people. Hopper clearly had the eye and the access to capture some timeless images, and he's finally compiled them (along with gallerist Tony Shafrazi) into a limited edition collectible book. "Dennis Hopper: Photographs 1961-1967," which features text from the actor and others, comes in two editions limited to 1,600 total copies. Each The book, available from Taschen, features images of '60s icons like Paul Newman and Andy Warhol, while the photos shown here include Martin Luther King, Jr. in '65 and a bathroom shot of Bruce Conner, Toni Basil, Teri Garr and Ann Marshall. You're certainly not getting these shots on your snap-o-matic camera. The Dodge City-born actor, who appeared in early films like "Rebel Without a Cause," broke big as the star and director of "Easy Rider." Hit films like "Speed," "Apocalypse Now" and "True Romance" followed as did several Oscar nominations. Hopper image by Terry Richardson, others by Hopper.
