Carl van der Walle made his first experience in the art of photography in the early 70ies at Rock Festivals and concerts.
In this decade he had the opportunity of photographing most of all Rock giants of that time.

His portraits of The Rolling Stones, The Who, Jimi Hendrix or Pink Floyd,
which he made (at the same time while studying)
as a pure hobby photographer, attracted public already in the early 70ies and were published in some regional papers.

In the year 2002 van der Walle presented at his photo exhibition
"Sing me the Songs of Yesterday" even those pictures of the 60ies and
70ies Rock greats and found out that there is an enormous interest in pictures of that time. Some of van der Walle`s Who portraits came out in the recent editions (2003) of the
German Art Rock magazine ECLIPSED.
The idea was born to offer his works on a home page of his own.

On the site "Rock Legends" we offer shots from the 60ies and 70ies.

The site "Recent Shots" contains essentially portraits of the last three years as well of classical as of recent bands.

On the site "Magic of Rock" you can find shots, which are different from a usual
rock photo and which originate in creative use of the camera.
