Guitarist Sebastian Jorgensen: Classical Montsalvat

In 1978, While in homework . Valley soundI photographed the late classic guitarist Sebastian Jorgensen (TRUE) Montsalvat.

We became friends.

Seb’s father, artist Justus JorgensenIt was the creative force behind the establishment of Melbourne’s famous artist community.

I would often fall to visit Sebastian and absorb the calm vibration of Montsalvat. It was easy to take beautiful photographs there-I’m not talking about unseen European-style buildings, atmospheric light, wood and stone texture, peacock birds, all of them unite to inspire artistic effort.

Later – I learned that in 1968, in 1968, in the Royal Festival Hall of London, I learned that he took the stage with two young guitarists. Jimi Hendrix And Paco Peña.
