Ethan Russell: An American Story

About Ethan Russell Keith Richards said, “(His) was no ordinary eye, and I found out no ordinary mind behind it.... A quiet thoughtful man with a blinding vision.  Enjoy his work. I do.”
 
The true story of a young American who in 1967 traveled to England, knowing no one, and became the photographer for The Beatles, The Rolling Stones,  The Who, and later the Eagles and many others. With over 250 photographs (including never before seen pictures of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, and others) An American Story takes the reader from San Francisco, to London, and back....on tour with the Rolling Stones, on the roof with the Beatles for their last concert, and directing music videos with Paul Simon, Rickie Lee Jones, kd lang, and John Lennon.

Yet, American Story is more than that: at over 90,000 words, it is his personal journey wrapped in a shared-interactive history of the last half of the 20th century, a personal inquiry into America then and now. Conceived and designed from its inception to be an eBook, it connects to a dedicated blog, providing audio, video and social interaction to eReaders on any platform.  The reader is invited in to experience Ethan Russell’s story, our common history, and to share their own.
