Godlis' photo stamp of authenticity inspired by...
Last nights' event at the 66th St/Broadway Barnes & Noble was a lot of fun. Who Shot Rock and Roll: A Photographic History, 1955-Present
author/curator, Gail Buckland, and legendary NYC music photographer, Godlis, put on the great show. Things started with Buckland doing a short talk & reading about her love of photography, and her life long pursuit in studying it, as well as her ongoing attempts to bring music photographers, specifically, into the pantheon of great and artistic photography. So far, so good, Gail!
This was followed by a wonderful, and very funny, slideshow and talk by Godlis that covered his life & career in photography. He discussed many of his influences, and was able to describe what he saw in his head as he took many of his famous shots...and all delivered with a slightly dry, down to earth sense of humor & fun, which always makes him a pleasure to spend time with.

If this were Creem Magazine there would be a funny caption here.
