The Howling Wolf Photos Home Page
Hello. Welcome to my website, home of the world′s
largest, most diverse Web collection of images of Chester Burnett -
better known to the world as legendary blues and rock giant HOWLIN' WOLF.
My iconic images depict diverse aspects of this great man's life,
on-stage and off. These sensitive, open, deeply-revealing images
were possible to attain only via the special bond and rapport Wolf and I
shared from the moment we met, as well as a meeting of individual talents
and artistic gifts each borne and perhaps despite dues we had paid and our
ability to sense these shared matters to be open to collaborate freely,
each from our deepest genuine selves, our "First Minds".
We came to meet and collaborate on these images, plus adventures and
ideas shared both from and leading to a very specia friendship, not by
chance but from the sum total of what we had been part of and had been
part of us leading up to our meeting, dues we'd each had to pay, suffering
we'd survived and yet not at the expense of more such victims made but
each learning how to heal and move forward against great odds.
So grasshopper, you see this indeed was no simple "lucky fan,
right- place, right time" matter. Wolf and I had shared a lot of
things in common (each in our own way per our culture and class) that had
to have happened to lead not only to simply meeting but which speak to the
level of connection we shared, the meaning of which is so deep that to
know how much and to express the meaning of its nature made itself
most clear to me only very recently, and will be addressed in detail at a
future time, as I know you are above all else eager to see what these
images are, if you've even come this in reading.
Come see our rare portraits, family shots and concert capturings where
Wolf's charismatic personality and intensity of focused on his have come
forth in many ways, to allow themselves be seen by all, all who are open
enough, that is, to be able to relate to the depths of his his soulful
expressive personality and his so very authentic and evolved character.
Wolf is an inspiring Wounded Healer who helped so many in in fact the
whole world be able to reconnect to parts of themselves find so easy to
have lost until that reconnection is made to take place.
And these are the rare portraits, chosen publicity photo, full photo
business cards and more, some of which are found now on album and
magazine covers, in books such as in the Wolf's Pantheon biography
Moanin’ at Midnight:
The Life and Times of Howlin’ Wolf, and films such as the
documentary DVD “The
Howlin’ Wolf Story. ” but be sure to first stick around to see
here what our meeting began to has produced.
