More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Blondie were the most successful rock act to emerge from New York s seminal and anarchic downtown punk scene of the mid- 70s. Their beautiful and multi-talented lead singer, Debbie Harry, became the most photogenic and photographed rock performer of all time. Picture This is a startling and energetic record of the band that spawned power pop at the peak of their success. It explores in depth, both visually and verbally, the unique natural charm and charisma of Debbie s Punk Marilyn Monroe persona in its prime, and her successful reinvention of that persona for Blondie s glorious comeback of recent years. Mick Rock provides a vivid, memorable account of his larger-than-life adventures behind the camera. Revealing, like no other book, just what made Debbie Harry and Blondie so distinctive, this album is a delight for any fan of rock culture imagery, and an exciting tribute to America s pre-eminent pop/punk band.
About the Author
Mick Rock lived and lensed cutting-edge culture like no other in the 70s. His images of Lou Reed, David Bowie, the Sex Pistols, Iggy Pop and Queen, among others, have made him a legend in the chronicles of rock photography. Their collaboration yielded iconic photos that transcended and transformed the public perception of rock n roll imagery. The photographer Mick Rock s career was launched when he photographed an almost unknown David Bowie in 1972. The two established an instant rapport and Rock went on to document the rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust. His reputation as the man who shot the Seventies was cemented with iconic images of Lou Reed, Syd Barrett, Iggy Pop, Queen, The Sex Pistols, The Ramones and Blondie. More recently, Mick has exposed with his camera Kate Moss, Michael Stipe, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Chemical Brothers, Razor light, The Killers and The Libertines, all to be seen in his forthcoming retrospective, Mick Rock: Exposed.

Not a memoir or bio, a book of photography
22 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I thought this was a memoir, autobio, or bio of Debbie Harry. The title and description seem to suggest this. It isn't. It's a book of photos with commentary on the photos by the photographer. The photos are good and historic, but this isn't at all what I thought I was purchasing.
