Don Hunstein, Who Photographed Great Musicians, Dies at 88

"On a freezing February afternoon in 1963, the photographer Don Hunstein asked Bob Dylan and his girlfriend, Suze Rotolo, to walk along a slush-covered Jones Street in Greenwich Village, near Mr. Dylan’s small apartment. Mr. Dylan, in a thin jacket, and Ms. Rotolo, bundled in a coat over bulky sweaters, strolled arm in arm past cars and trucks and into music history.

One of the pictures that Mr. Hunstein took that day became the cover of Mr. Dylan’s second album, “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.” It is the most recognizable image in the archive of musical giants that Mr. Hunstein shot as a staff photographer for Columbia Records from the late 1950s to 1986, when the label shut down its in-house photo studio."
