Blauuuuw! Rock n’ Roll has been shot!

Heavy hitters like Ricky Powell, Chris Stein, and Dennis Hopper are all vital accomplices in murdering Rock and Roll photography! Shooting some of the most controversial, sexy, grungy, and memorable moments in music history.

Although some of the photos are deliberately staged, there is incredible creative genius displayed in the pages of this massive volume.

An incredible portfolio filled with over 200 photos and compiled by the best photographic editor/curator in the game, Gail Buckland. She writes and explains the relationship the photographers have with their subjects, and some of the moments that can only be told by the photographers themselves. Capturing some of candid moments in time that are priceless.

This kick ass book has gone into the collections of some of the most affluent photographers in the game, and is ‘blasting’ some unique photos for the eyes to absorb.

Hi Res images of some of the biggest names in music, and a vast amount of history. Finally, I get to see some of the icons my dad admired along side some of the peeps I grew up listening to and admiring.

“Decades after the movement globalized, New York is still the mecca of
graffiti culture. Painting there is a badge of honor, with graffiti
artists from around the globe making pilgrimages to New York for that
purpose. This is the city where it all began, yet few know the back
story. Graffiti New York fills that gap, detailing the concepts,
aesthetics, ideals, and social structures that have served as a
cultural blueprint for graffiti movements across the world. The book
features approximately 1,000 images, complemented by texts by the
authors and relevant players in the movement, as well as descriptive
graphics and sidebars. Ranging from the birth of simple signature tags
to today’s vibrant murals, and covering the ups and downs of the
movement, the culture’s value system, its social framework, the
various forms of graffiti, and significant artists and crews, Graffiti
New York is a major addition to Abrams’ superb books on graffiti art.”

Here is some of the story from the New York Post:

An international graffiti vandal was sentenced yesterday to six months in jail for defacing subway cars in Queens — the same six months she’s serving for tagging trains in three other boroughs.

Danielle Bremner, who used the tags “Erin,” “Dani” and “Utah,” pleaded guilty in April to a single count of felony criminal mischief for vandalizing six subway cars in Queens, causing more than $6,000 in damage between September 2005 and April 2008.
