In 1968, Michael Zagaris was a young law student and Bobby Kennedy campaign staffer who witnessed the Senator’s assassination. That horrific event set him on a path to personal fulfillment that, after a hashish-fueled conversation with famed rock guitarist Eric Clapton, propelled him into an unforeseen profession: He became one of the great rock n’ roll--and sports--photographers of alltime. In Part 1 of this captivating conversation, the longtime 49ers and A’s photographer retraces the pivotal moments of his journey, from the fateful night of RFK’s murder after winning the California primary to the Northern California Folk Rock Festival at which Doors frontman Jim Morrison drunkenly vomited over his shoulder.
