Yoko Ono came to the opening early to get a look at the exhibition, before it filled up with the 1,600 people who came to the opening party!

Debbie Harry was impressed with the size of the exhibition. She was at the first show I had in this space, in 1990 when it first opened as the gallery at CBGB.
|
We've built an installation for the photos, the front room has colorful rose walls, and there is a freestanding mock 'teenage bedroom' area between the front and back.
|
|
The back section is built like a city-scape scene, with buildings as the spaces for the photos and a skyline painted above. |
Tito Ficarelli came from Brazil to design the exhibition in the same style as the one he made for me last Spring at the FAAP University museum in Sao Paulo.

 My 95 year old mom was happy to meet Yoko at the opening. I learned everything I know about photography from my mom.
|
Bernadette Peters was at the opening, it was a real pleasure to meet her. |
|
Clem Burke & BP Fallon came to see what the show was like, and enjoyed the 'teenage bedroom' part of the exhibit.
|
Michael Schmidt, Bob Gruen, Debbie Harry, Miss Guy & Snooky Bellomo get some air on the sidewalk out in front.
|
|
For most of the night there was a crowd milling on the sidewalk like the old CB's days.
|
John Varvatos came to see what I had installed next to the store he opened next door in the old CBGB club space. He's a real rock fan and was happy to see a real rock photo show.

John Varvatos says hi to Jesse Malin & Danny Sage who played a week earlier in a reunion of their D-Generation band at John's party to celebrate the opening of his new store next door.
