According to the Biography Channel:
"After graduating from UCLA in 1965, Morrison headed for the artsy, bohemian communities of artists and musicians who hung out in and around Venice Beach, a suburb of L.A. Money was tight, so Jim soon lost weight, and his face acquired the lean, chiselled features that would later became world-famous in the black-and-white photos by Joel Brodsky that would appear on the cover of his future music album, “Best Of The Doors”.
"Jim was a keen poet, and whilst reading his work live at a poetry reading in Venice, he hooked up with fellow ex-UCLA student Ray Manzarek, who was immediately intrigued by Morrison’s writing and lyrics. The two budding bandmates were joined by drummer John Densmore shortly afterwards. The guitarist Robby Krieger auditioned for the group at Densmore’s recommendation - and so The Doors were born."
