November 7th - December 6th. Amsterdam

MORRISON HOTEL GALLERY
VIPS AMSTERDAM
The LET IT BLEED exhibit which openened to standing room only crowds in Rotterdam now travels to VIPS' sister gallery in Amsterdam. Opening on November 7th - 39 years to the day of the opening of the Rolling Stones 1969 tour - the exhibit runs until December 6th, the date of the fated Altamont concert, the last gig of that tour.
DIGITAL DOMAIN was my first exhibit in 2005. It was beautiful, a great night. Digital Domain is one of Hollywood's premiere digital effects house (Apollo 13, a few of the "Terminators", Titanic.) We had the whole studio,including the the projection rooms. Let It Be played, and Gimme Shelter, The Rolling Stones Rock n Roll Circus. Prints were from 16 by 20 inches to 4 by 6 feet. In the main conference room - the "whale" designed by Frank Gehry - my photographs hung on virtually invisible wires. It was the first time, strange as it might sound, that I had a real sense of how much history I really had captured.


SAN FRANCISCO ART EXCHANGE. I've had two one-man shows there, the first the Digital Domain Exhibition re-hung and the second "BEING THERE" (summer 2005) was an entirely new collection of never before exhibited photographs, outtakes from some very famous sessions where the "hero" images were well known but from which there was a wealth of material that had never been seen, even by the artists. Also, it brought in more recent work, so there was a lot I liked about it.


BLINK GALLERY, LONDON. A one man show at the BLINK Gallery in London in the fall of 2005. Walking from the hotel to the opening, I passed by the flat on Montague Square where I'd taken my very first photos of John Lennon in 1968. It was not without its "who knows the arc of a lifetime" feel.


V!P's INTERNATIONAL ART GALLERIES. A one-man show in Rotterdam in the winter 2006. I flew to Rotterdam from London where I was conducting the beginning the interviews for LET IT BLEED. Pictured to the right (top) Peter de Raaf, owner, and Raj Prem of Raj Prem Fine Art Photography whose company arranges a lot of these shows. Bottom: Peter with one of my John Lennon photographs.


MUMM GALLERY NAPA "LEGENDS OF ROCK" Group show. It was actually a great night. The Napa Valley looked spectacular with a full moon shining over the vines. It was a pretty great collection of work, too. Photo (left) l to r: (standing) Bob Gruen, Jim Marshall, Me, George Rose (kneeling) Baron Wolman, Henry Diltz. Photo: Victoria Smith.

This exhibtion is closed, but the gallery is worth a visit. There's an entire collection of Ansel Adams' work on display.
