Rock and Roll!

I stopped by the Columbus Museum last Sunday to see their Sound and Vision: Monumental Rock and Roll Photography exhibit. I was alone in the gallery for a while and cannot really describe my feelings (perhaps “frisson”) while standing in front of iconic, life-size images of Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix, photographed a couple of years before their deaths, staring back at me. There are lots of wonderful portraits and the prints are large (perhaps 30×40″) pigment prints on watercolor paper. Students, friends, photographers, music lovers, sixties survivors, everyone who cares about photography and the cultural phenomenon of rock music MUST see this exhibit. No excuses. KGray
