Image No. 62-1-30: Pamplona café Dick Farina and Carolyn Hester, Pamplona, Spain, July 1962 Dick Farina was a struggling writer, not yet known as a songwriter and performer, when his first wife, Carolyn Hester, was among the most popular women folksingers of the early 1960s. In 1962 they spent a good deal of time in Europe. In July, Dick took them on a writer's pilgrimage, following in Hemingway's footsteps, to the running of the bulls in Pamplona.

Image No. 65-2-5 Dick and Mimi Fariña, Pauline Marden King's Rook Coffeehouse, Massachusetts, 1965 Pauline Baez Marden, the eldest of the three Baez sisters, is blessed with the same musical genes that her sisters Joan and Mimi share, but she chose a quieter, less public life than they did. Her appearance with Dick and Mimi at the Kings Rook in the winter of 1965 gave me a rare opportunity to photograph Mimi and Pauline performing together.

Image No. 66-1-4: Beach Portrait Beach near Carmel, California, January 1966 On a warm January day, Dick and Mimi and I spent some time on a small beach south of Carmel. I'm not in the habit of posing friends for formal portraits, but when Dick and Mimi sat together on a driftwood log, they looked as if they were sitting for a portrait. I aimed my camera, they looked at me, and I took this shot.
