"Nomen omen" said the Romans. And who better than Mick Rock embodies the foundation of truth 'that contains this phrase?
Born in the UK, Mick lives in a state of perpetual wandering between New York and London ( Nylon, for the most ' branches' among those who have the good fortune to read these notes) and, in his musical life as a photographer and 'always been the classic "right man at the right place." About
photographer 'a young Syd Barrett on the verge of releasing his first solo album? About photographer 'David Bowie / Ziggy Stardust before anyone else, becoming the official photographer? About photographer 'in the days of Iggy Pop "Raw Power" fully capture soul on film? About photographer 'the Sex Pistols in 1976 at the dawn of their careers? About photographer 'Debbie Harry in all its glory of punk icon? Who is' the author of the shot of the cover of "End Of The Century", the Ramones album came out in 1980? Who ever this year (and I'm past thirty), click 'the first images of a completely unknown by the singular name of Madonna?
And so forth, shot after shot: click, click, click !
If that London did not miss to visit the exhibition " Mick Rock: Rock Music " currently in progress (until 11 January 2011) at the Idea Generation Gallery, located in the district to the page of Shoreditch. If
elsewhere, buy the book "Mick Rock Exposed" which contains all the photos and other exposure.
