Lost and Found Jimi Hendrix

• Prize
• Photographer
  Mike Berkofsky, United Kingdom

All film from the Hendrix' first London shoot 1967 was lost by the
magazine in a flood and eaten by rats. I kept one frame that was
mis-laid for 43 years but found in 2010 in a Santa Monica garage
covered in fungus and slime. It took more than 3 years to clean
and restore to its original look, 2014.
