Morrison Hotel Moves Into Former CBGB Gallery
On March 27, The Morrison Hotel Gallery, the world's leading purveyor of fine art music photography, will open an exhibition space at 313 Bowery, former home to the famed CBGB's Gallery. At nearly 3000 square feet, 313 Bowery will be the Morrison's largest space, over twice the size of their existing galleries in NYC's Soho neighborhood, Los Angeles, and La Jolla.The size of the space at 313 Bowery will allow the Morrison to mount their most ambitious exhibitions to date. "This new space will enhance our line of fine art music photography and puts us in a historical space where people can experience some very different shows than at our other locations," says Peter Blachley, co-owner of the Morrison. While the interior of the 313 Bowery space will change with each show, the Morrison plans to maintain many original elements of the CBGB's Gallery, including the bathroom graffiti, an original wall logo stencil and a panel of show posters and hand-bills from CBGB's 10th anniversary that were buried in an inner wall.
The 313 Bowery space will open with an exhibit by acclaimed British photographer and mixed media artist Steve Joester.

I'll take those "old farts" any day over contemporary music like Fall Out Boy, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, and all the emo eunichs.

They work with over 50 different photographers. New music and old.

Overdoing it on The Doors is a total douche-move. Just cause you think Morrison is G-d doesn't give you a right to crawl around like one of the vampires from The Lost Boys.

Leia Jospe or Bao Nguyen? Bao is really damn good, I wish I could shoot like him.

Todd Owyoung is probably one of the very best. His set from NYE Dresden Dolls show is amazing.

Todd's Dresden Dolls photos are amazing, but I'm pretty sure the NYE Dreden Dolls photos are from Chris Owyoung, Todd's brother in NYC.

All Asians (and their photos) look the same.
Todd and Chris are definitely two of the best concert photographers out there.

guys see the set here: http://ishootshows.com/2008/01/15/the-dresden-dolls-the-pageant-20070106/#more-157
I think todd is the best, he gives great shooting tips on his blog, and he also answers even stupid questions if you write him an e-mail. Although all the people mentioned in this thread are very good.

Yeah. Chris shot NYE. Todd shot St Louis. I was there for NY too. Yay Dresden Dolls!
