Joe Stevens Photographic Exhibition In Portsmouth

I keep a photograph, It burns my wall with time...

Speaking of exhibitions drawing to a close, (01.21.2008 NEWS: DB RECOMMENDS KARA WALKER EXHIBITION AT THE WHITNEY) photographer Joe Stevens has a retrospective of his Rock 'n' Roll photography entitled: Off The Wall Photo Show currently showing at the Press Room in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in the USA, until the end of the month.

Readers of the New Musical Express (NME) in the early to mid 1970s will be very familiar with Joe's incredible shots of David Bowie. The picture below was just one of many that graced the front page of the magazine and it's one that will be on show and for sale at the exhibition.

It was rare to find any colour Bowie shots of Joe's, the incredible photograph above being a fine exception taken during rehearsals for My Death at the taping of the Russell Harty Plus TV show in the UK in January 1973...thirty five years ago this week.

Check out Joe's official site where you can find further details of the exhibition. We'll hopefully follow-up this piece with a brief interview with 'Captain Snaps' and a couple more of his exclusive shots of DB.
