Jose Feliciano
At a press-dinner in 1974, photographer Bastian took this photo of well-known Flamenco-style guitar-player
Jose Feliciano, performing that night at a venue in Hollywood. Feliciano was seated with his mother after his
performance when Bastian approached their table to ask if he could get a photo. Feliciano’s mother was
surprised, and said that many photographers would take pictures of her blind son without even asking.
“You don’t always ask a blind man if you can take his photograph,” she said.
