As a teacher and photographer Joseph Szabo developed a strong relationship with his students. In the mid 70s, a few of his students enticed him to join them on a trip to Pennsylvania from Long Island to see The Rolling Stones, well in reality we had a suspicion the kids wanted to bum a ride. Szabo captured 90,000 Stones fans in a frenzy. He teamed up with Australian superbrand PAM to produce two t-shirts and a book titled Rolling Stones Fans. Available now through bonjour records.
