Taking Aim - with Graham Nash in Seattle

The Taking Aim event at EMP in Seattle was terrific. Graham Nash plus nine photographers from the book. I was there along with Jim Marshall, Neal Preston, Henry Diltz, Joel Bernstein, Alan Messer, Alice Wheeler, Charles Peterson and the amazing 94 year old Jini Dellaccio.
The book and exhibition is a terrific collection of Rock photos picked by Graham Nash from all era's. Graham was a fabulous host and moderator, with great stories and a deep knowledge of photography. As a pioneer of digital printing with partner Mac Holbert at Nash Editions he legitimized the inkjet process for art prints.
Thanks to Jasen Emmons at EMP and Michelle and the Chronicle Books folk for a great show and book.
Photos from the event will be here Monday night.

Scott Walker 30 Century Man

The Scott Walker documentary 'Scott Walker 30 Century Man' just opened a theatrical run in Los Angeles. There are 20+ photos of mine in the movie and I met up with the Director, Stephen Kijak (left) Friday evening for the showing and a Q & A after wards. It is an excellent portrait of this enigmatic and reclusive artist who is one of my all time favorite singers. Scott Walker photos. All the showings have been well attended, and Universal is finally releasing the Scott solo CD's for the first time.

Red Rocks

Red Rocks, Colorado. What a great venue. We have our showing in the Southwest Airlines Hall Of Fame area. Great music crowd Saturday night, it also was pointed out to us that September 1st was the date 39 years ago that Jimi Hendrix played Red Rocks.
The show last night was terrific. Etta James was back after her illness and was in great voice, Al Green was superb with a fabulous band, and BB King was himself. The sound in that venue was the best I have ever heard.

This is the newest Hendrix painting by Malcolm of one of my photographs (left). I love this painting, Malcolm's favorite is the new one of Led Zeppelin he recently painted.
