WOODSTOCK, BETHEL, NY, 1969

LINER NOTES I drove up toward Woodstock in New York's Catskill Mountains and got to within four or five miles of the festival when traffic came to a complete halt. I heard radio reports that the police might shut down all roads, including the New York State Thruway, which led to the nearby town of Bethel. And that's what they did. I had to walk four-plus miles to my motel? One photo I took as I walked to the site on the first day remains one of the most iconic images from Woodstock: an S-shaped curve of cars, literally hundreds of vehicles trapped on the road. It became one of my most widely published photographs around the world from that event. - Ken Regan
