Witness to Hendrix's famous guitar burning at the legendary Monterey music festival of 1967 and the Rolling Stones notoriously debauched 1972 tour of North America, O'Neal also managed to capture more reflective artists such as Joni Mitchell and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

'I was part of a very select group of guys, there might have been six or eight of us, based out of Los Angeles, who did most of the album covers in the late 1960's and early 1970's,' said O'Neal.
Counting bands such as Steppenwolf and The Mamas & the Papas as his photographic subjects, O'Neal was aware of the privilege the musicians had granted him.

'I am very excited to have the opportunity to present 'Scene from Inside'.
Getting one of his first tastes of the rock lifestyle at Monterey, O'Neal witnessed Hendrix cement his pyrotechnic reputation as he set his guitar on fire.

'It was awkward to shoot from below the stage because it was hard to see over it.'
Although O'Neal was particularly friendly with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, he also witnessed the other early 1970's supergroup The Rolling Stones at their elegantly wasted peak.
'We hung out. I went to the studio and waited for the moment to take the pic,' said O'Neal.
Joni Mitchell and Tom Gundelfinger O'Neal became firm friends in the 1960's and early 1970's and continued their friendship through the next two decades

'I never really found the moment in the studio, but were very willing for me to take pictures at the concert,
'The real experience was being on stage with them.'
Having photographed over 50 album covers in his career, O'Neal is excited to show off his work.

Bottoms up: No doubt the 23-year-old was attracting a lot of attention by the hotel pool
'She's everything to me. I could never have married a trophy wife. It would drive me potty not to be able to have a conversation with my partner - or a laugh.
'Yes, she's gorgeous but she's also really good company and the least showy-offy girl you'll ever meet.'

Permalink Truk Lagoon, known as Chuuk – a group of tropical paradise islands in the Federal States of Micronesia – offers adrenaline-junky scuba divers a cool yet creepy underwater adventure in shark-infested Pacific waters while wreck diving the mysterious Ghost Fleet of Truk Lagoon. More than 50 major shipwrecks from WWII litter the seabed, making the undersea wonder of the world the best shipwreck diving destination on the globe. In 1944, Americans launched Operation Hailstone, which has been called the Japanese Pearl Harbor, and the bombardment lasted for three days. The attack wiped out 60 ships and 275 airplanes, sinking them to the bottom of the lagoon, so that now it is the biggest ship graveyard in the world. Most of the wrecks were left untouched for nearly 25 years since people feared setting off the thousands of sunken bombs. Many of the shipwrecks in the scuba diving paradise have full cargo holds full of fighter aircraft, tanks, bulldozers, railroad cars, motorcycles, torpedoes, mines, bombs, boxes of munitions, radios, thousands of various weapons, human remains, and other artifacts. More than 3,000 people were thought to have been killed and some divers swear that the wrecks in Truk Lagoon are haunted. Destination Truth conducted an underwater ghost hunting expedition in Truk Lagoon. While diving at the Hoki Maru, the divers recorded sounds of running engines in the cargo hold full of trucks. Here’s a virtual adventure with wreck divers who explored and photographed the Ghost Fleet of Truk Lagoon. This is underwater awesomeness! We love these pics! [33 Photos]
