Graham Nash and 'Unforgettable' rock photos
BY GEORGE VARGA : The San Diego Union-Tribune
From Aretha Franklin and Bob Marley toRay Charles and Kurt Cobain, "Taking Aim - Unforgettable Rock 'n' Roll Photographs" boasts riveting color and black-and-white images of several generations of iconic artists in action and in repose. They were taken by such leading music photographers as Anton Corbijn, Henry Diltz and Lynn Goldsmith.
But it is a shot of a complete unknown, then and now, that most excites two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Graham Nash, himself a noted photographer. He selected nearly all the pictures in this handsome, 160-page book and played a key role in curating the "Taking Aim" exhibit, which opens tomorrow at Balboa Park's Museum of Photographic Arts (MOPA) and runs through Sept. 26.
