News at Eleven: And he [Allen Ginsberg] did it all with a

second-hand Kodak camera, using nothing more than the instructions on the film packets. They are some of the few photos of the Beat generation in their early years: a pre-Naked Lunch William Burroughs staring sadly at the camera from behind a pile of books; writer Gregory Corso crouching by a window in his Parisian attic; "Neal Cassady," as Ginsberg writes in a caption, "with cigarette young and vigorous age 29 with salesman surveying North Beach used car lot, he needed new wheels."
