Calling all photographers to the Brooklyn Museum, Saturday, November 7
|
Hi, Everyone. I work at the Brooklyn Museum in the Education Division and I wanted to invite you to come to the Museum on Saturday, November 7 to shoot the indie rock bands playing at our free Target First Saturday from 5 to 8:15 p.m. where we will be highlighting our special exhibition Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present. The bands, The Beets, Grass Widow, and Crystal Stilts, have been co-curated by show promoter extraordinaire Todd Patrick, a.k.a. Todd P.
Post your shots to the Brooklyn Museum Flickr group and legendary rock photographer Bob Gruen, who is featured in the exhibition, will write about his favorites on the Museum’s blog.
I hope to see you here this weekend with your camera! Please spread the word. Thanks!

I went to the Who Shot Rock N Roll exhibit and discussion with Bob Gruen. It was very interesting and informative. I loved hearing the stories of a legendary photographer like Bob Gruen. I also liked to hear from Justin Borucki , he's from staten Island like myself and started out shooting local bands that I grew up listening to. I took some photos of The Crystal Stilts and I hope Bob Gruen finds them interesting enough to comment on them.

Hello everyone,
We are about to machine tag all the submitted images, so we can directly query and send them to Bob Gruen for review. If you see a tag added (FSAT:110709=RR) please don't delete it or your photo won't be reviewed.
When Bob's blog post has been posted, we'll be sure to link to it in this thread. Thank you all for the wonderful shots!

I’m not a critic and I don’t judge people’s work but I’ve picked out a few of the photos that I think work better than the rest. The photographers were working under very difficult circumstances; a large crowd with no separate photo pit, confusing backgrounds, not very dramatic lighting, young bands learning to put on a show, which makes it hard to get very exciting photos.
These photos below are the ones I think best captured the sights and sounds of the night.

...neene...'s photo of the Crystal Stilts captures the story of the night:
richardgin.org's photo of The Beets is a photoshop collage done well:
hatheadhero's photo of Grass Widow is an interesting angle that shows what's happening:
Out of several close up shots this one works best from Ben Stimler:
This is a good ambiance photo from Gighi1980, but I'd crop some of the top:

I just wanted to jump in again and say, "Thank You so much!" to all the photographers who participated. It was so wonderful to see all of you at the Museum taking photos and I really loved viewing the results. We hope we'll see you all again soon.
