“My dear friend, Chip Monk… He called me from New York in early August and said, ‘Henry, we're having a big festival out here. You oughta come out here and photograph.’ I knew Chip Monck as a lighting, sound and stage manager for a lot of
the folk shows… I said, ‘Chip, I'd love to, but I don't know anybody out there. How do I do that?’ He said, 'I'll talk to the producer.’ The next day Michael Lang called me and said, ‘Chip says we need you, so I'm sending you a ticket and $500.’ I got on a plane and flew out. I spent two weeks photographing the whole building of the stage and everything in the office. I photographed Michael Lang as he rode around on motorcycles and horseback. I just documented the whole creation of that festival. Then I had the All Access Pass and shot all of the artists up on stage. Chip Monk truly is the reason I became the official photographer of Woodstock!” -Henry Diltz
