Not sure if this pic has been uploaded on the message board. I'm reading a book entitled "We Got The Neutron Bomb - The Untold Told Story of LA Punk".  Jim was cited as one of the first "Punk Rockers" in LA. Great picture of the Doors doing a soundcheck at The Bowl, 7-4-68. Jim sans shirt, boots and leather

The photo is credited to Kerry Colonna.  I've done a bit of online research. Haven't turned up very much info, though I do find he was a photographer for the 70's LA Punk Fanzine "Slash"

Very nice. He must have shaved sometime after the soundcheck.

It's strange to me that Jim participated in the sound checks.

Why is that, GG? I mean, his voice was a fairly important part of their sound, after all...Posted Image
When I met Hendrix we just talked about the weather. When I met Jim Morrison we sat around looking at girls’ legs and discussing who had the best ass.

It was HIS film on HIS dime.  He probably would have checked out some camera angles/placements with his crew/friends during the afternoon.

I guess because the impression I've gotten is that it wasn't about the sound for him, that the technical stuff was more Ray's department.
