About Douglas Elbinger Books
Doug Elbinger's extraordinary career in photography began at the age of fourteen when he developed his first roll of black and white film in soup bowls in his bedroom closet. While still in high school, he photographed the Beatles, on stage with them during their August 1966 concert at the Olympia Stadium in Detroit. As a student at Michigan State University ('67 - '71), Doug worked for the The State News, The Detroit Free Press, and United Press International . By age 21, his work had appeared in the New York Times, Time Magazine. Newsweek Magazine, and Sports Illustrated. Highlights of his photo-journalistic career include Robert F. Kennedys' presidential campaign in May 1968 and the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968. Over the years Elbingers' photographs have appeared in countless newspapers, magazines, trade journals, album covers, and annual reports and web sites.
