Raised near LaGuardia Airport he developed an early fascination with aircraft that inspired his acclaimed aviation project which began in the 1980s.

About Bob Seidemann and his photograph Blind Faith (from Sotheby's auction and Wikipedia): ******Robert "Bob" Emett Seidemann, b.1941 d.2017, was an American photographer. He was known for his portraits of musicians and bands from San Francisco's counterculture in the 1960s and 1970s. Many of his images were published by Rolling Stone, by record labels, and in books. Bob Seidemann's surreal and enigmatic 'Blind Faith' became the album cover of Eric Clapton's first post Cream project. The band consisted of Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker, and Ric Grech, and took both its name and the title of its only album from Seidemann's photograph. The image, of a young girl holding a futuristic metal plane, created controversy even before its release when Polydor balked at using it as cover art. Clapton insisted, however, and the 1969 UK release of Blind Faith featured Seidemann's photograph. The photograph went on to become his most famous and controversial work. The rarity of the original cover has made the album highly collectible, and its notoriety has raised Seidemann's photograph to icon status.****** BUYERS PLEASE NOTE: This framed photograph will require additional shipping charges.
