In respect to the Photobooth Jim Morrison photo’s, Mr. Morrison got photobooth photos taken of himself , as one would expect after losing your passport and/or being attacked. I think there might be a little evidence of swelling under his right eye in these photos.
Morrison most definitely lost his passport in either Corsica , Morocco or Marseille, as his friend Frank Lisciandro received a letter from Jim detailing this incident, as discussed in Frank’s interview with Steven Wheeler.
Jim also lost his wallet there. The letter Frank received was, according to him, written on the L’Hotel stationary, the hotel Oscar Wilde died in. So that would put it around May – June – ish 1971 that it was written.

If Mr. Morrison ever did got a new passport, to replace the 1968 one that he lost, is controversial. I have yet to determine the truth of the claims that he got ahold of his lost passport and then cancelled his request for a new one.

Hi Tom, thanks for stopping by and your insightful comment. Jim has a beard in these pictures, which makes me wonder when they were actually taken. Because the other pictures from Paris, he’s clean shaved. And of course, there is the other photo, allegedly taken in the Paris apartment, where he’s standing in front of the window, again with beard.
I would love to know your thoughts on this.
Again, thanks for your comments.
Kind regards, Susan
