Photographer Daniel Kramer (born today in 1932) had something everyone wanted in 1965 & 1966 – near-total access to Bob Dylan. Starting on Aug. 27, 1965, Kramer spent the next 366 days photographing Dylan – creating a startling visual record of a cultural phenomenon in his prime. Kramer died in 2024
