Mekas, himself, affirms that cinema "is just a photogram, one single photogram!" All along the book we encounter a great many of his friends such as Andy Warhol, Nam June Paik, Robert Frank, the Kennedy family, Salvador Dali, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Nico, Gerard Malanga, Allen Ginsberg, Henri Langlois, Stan Brakhage, Jack Kerouac, Lou Reed, Miles Davis and many others, without omitting all those moments, happy or not, which he captured with his camera and his malicious eye.
