legendary rock music photographer MICK ROCK
talk, slide show & book signing
Monday, November 21, 2005 at 7 pm
--- Mick Rock has become as important in defining the images of punks
and glam rockers as his subjects were in making music history. Join us
for a very special evening with the legendary rock music photographer
as we celebrate the publication of "Raw Power: Iggy and the Stooges"
and "Moonage Daydream: The Life & Times of Ziggy Stardust."

Photographer Mick Rock is responsible for some of the most iconic
images in rock music history - including those of David Bowie's Ziggy
Stardust period. Rock also shot album covers for Syd Barrett, Lou
Reed, Queen, The
Ramones and Joan Jett. He was also the chief photographer on the films
"The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," and
produced and directed Bowie's early music videos.
