Grace Slick
Jefferson Airplane were playing Central Park, after the show
the record company threw a party at the Essex House Hotel. The party was atop the hotel in an outdoor restaurant which overlooked where the show was just
held. A few of us went over to the party to shoot some pictures of the first
arriving people. Grace walked in and was doing some posing for a few of the AP
photographers, when I noticed that there was something wrong or in her eye. As she got closer I noticed that she had a star in her eye. A contact lens in the shape of a star. I said to her "nice eye job." At that point, she mugged the camera and in that instant, I snapped this photo. I asked her why not both eyes? She said that she did have to see! The photo was shot with a wide angle lens that give's it a distortion that was perfect for the overall effect.
