One good thing about the recession is that art shows tend to linger. A good example of this is Bobby Grossman's photos at MINA Gallery in NYC (which was suppose to end in June). He has a bunch of 80's picture portraits that blew me away such as this one that has Debbie Harry, Fab 5 Freddie and Lee Quinones chillin in front of a one of his long gone graffiti murals. Kinda wish it was in color to highlight the freshness of the backdrop but as I learned long ago you can't have everything.

When I walk into John Varvatos shops it is less for the clothes and more for the music photography and books that adorns their spaces. John Varvatos has taken one step further and hired the renowned Danny Clinch to shoot ZZ Top for the fall '09 ad campaign. You can check out numerous photos from the campaign here.

If you're in Los Angeles I encourage y'all to check this Jazz
portrait photography show at Reserve (420 North Fairfax) featuring the work of
Herman Leonard. Aside from the amazing Miles Davis photo that is the
centerpiece they also got some noteworthy photographs of other legends such as
Chet Baker, Billie Holiday and Duke Ellington. Small store with about a dozen pieces on display, but certainly worthwhile if your in LA.

Not sure how I missed the Brooklyn Museum announcement that they're organizing a exhibition on Rock & Roll photography; October 30, 2009–January 31, 2010.
Based on their description the exhibit acknowledges the creative and collaborative role photographers have played in the history of rock music. And, smartly, straying away from "surface and celebrity" of images, but on the creativity and conceptual art found in unique concert, behind the scenes, documentary and album art photographs.
