 PopSpots recently went to an opening of newly released Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie photographs by John Cohen at the L. Parker Stephenson Gallery in NYC. Three new Popspots from the Self Portrait sessions resulted and can be found in the middle of this entry, following some of the other newly-released John Cohen photos.

PopSpots meets the Arturo's shot. (Taken at the northeast corner of Thompson Street and Houston Street, NYC.)




One of the photos in the box set booklet is this, which was inside the gatefold from the original release of Self Portrait (This shot is from an actual album interior.).




To find it online, go to Google Street Views and type in "9 Bryant Pond Road, Putnam Valley, New York."




Here's a close up of one of the two caution signs that flank the bridge. It's just a little different from the one Dylan was in front of in 1970.




Here's modern day view of the scene behind Dylan. The house to the left of the barn is now gone.




Here's a composite - the old and the new.




This is another newly released photo available at the gallery and also in the boxed set.





It's another view of Dylan on the bridge.

Thanks, John Cohen, for releasing all these new shots from your two unique photo sessions with Dylan those many years ago. It's a great view into the past.
