Hunter S. Thompson in color, close-up, Mexico, Al Satterwhite, 1974

I photographed Hunter S. Thompson on the island of Cozumel, Mexico, in March, 1974, sitting on the seawall at El Presidente Hotel before being interviewed for the November 1974 Playboy Magazine. Hunter would usually wake up around 11 a.m., we'd work on the interview for a couple hours, and then head into town for the rest of the day. - Al Satterwhite
