Icons Old & New Photo Exhibit in Los Angeles

I'm thrilled to be part of the fine art gallery opening from celebrity curator Danny Masterson and Rock Paper Photo, the online gallery for fine art photography founded by Live Nation, and Madonna's manager, Guy Oseary. They are presenting an iconic collection of limited edition prints at Confederacy in Los Angeles. One of my photographs of Thom Yorke of Radiohead will be presented on display. The Exhibition opens June 29th 2012 at the Confederacy located at 4661 Hollywood Boulevard.



Masterson has hand-selected more than 40 iconic prints of rock, jazz, blues and R&B hip hop masters who inspire him as an actor, DJ and entrepreneur, including work featuring the Rolling Stones, Beastie Boys, Bob Marley, Biz Markie, Radiohead, Rufus Wainwright, Sid Vicious and David Bowie. He is the latest in a series of esteemed guest-curators that includes John Varvatos, Def Leppard's Phil Collen, Guy Oseary and more.



The Rock Paper Photo exhibition will remain open for the summer at Confederacy, Masterson's lifestyle boutique in LA, and online at rockpaperphoto.com.



The photo art exhibit will include some of these iconic images that capture the look of rock star artists such as Keith Richards & Ron Wood, Debbie Harry, Axl Rose, Bob Marley, The Beatles, (pictured above), David Bowie, Thom Yorke of Radiohead, Notorious Big, and Nirvana.



This rock star photo exhibit features the gallery debut of photographer Erik Voake. It also features photographic work from Richard E. Aaron, Marc Canter, Brad Elterman, Deborah Feingold, Henry Grossman, Michael Jurick, Jack Lue, Tom Murray, Ricky Powell, Chuck Pulin, Peter Simon, Lisa Tanner, Baron Wolman.

Avery in the City

I'm super thrilled with this collection of portraits with Avery! It was a perfect photo shoot - and yet a truly a difficult task to edit down this series as every photograph was a winner. Avery's Bat Mitvah is coming up later this year, and she was a rock star on location for her pre-party photo session. Thanks to her supporting cast for making this photo shoot an amazing one. The first image is 60 images stitched together to form this panoramic, 85mm 1.4, 200 iso, Canon 5D MkIII.

The excellent Brian Mullins photographed the event, and I had an opportunity to capture 1 image for my brother-in-law Orry. If you are in the Carolina's - make sure you look up Brian and have him capture your event!

Had a blast in Milan today. @todddammitkerns sang the GnR song "Out ta Get Me" - was killer! I love that we change up our set list daily!

I read un-confirmed rumors that Axl was at the festival yesterday and was able to witness this performance. As I said, unconfirmed.

Slash's final gig on this leg of the tour is tomorrow -- June 25 at Byblos International Festival, Byblos, Lebanon.

After that, the band returns to the States to perform a free, acoustic set on July 10 at the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Two days later, they kick off the second US leg of this tour -- July 12 at Roseland Theatre in Portland, Oregon.

David Bouley Test Kitchen - Surprise 70th

What a treat (literally) to photograph Michael's 70th Surprise Birthday party in David Bouley's Test Kitchen. I had free roaming to capture both the legendary chef and his his staff during the food creation process as well as the wonderful party. The Bouley Test Kitchen event space was swanky, even if a touch on the warmer side (from the kitchen). Gene Jones from GIMME A HINT! Trivia Game Show entertained the guests, the magnificent wine cake was created by Sylvia Weinestock and the party was produced by Gourmet Adivsory.
