When we imagine the rock n' roll icon it is often not the music that first comes to mind. The myth and the glamour of a rock n' roll, pop culture icon and the marvel that we experience from the artifacts of decades of rock gone by lies in the images. Although musicians themselves embody the rock n' roll persona, it is refined and crafted by the photographer who is able to capture the energy of the music without sound. Mark Weiss is an iconic and legendary rock and roll photographer who is responsible for capturing these milestones. This weekend Weiss had his first solo exhibition at the Resorts Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City. Even if you do not know Mark Weiss by name you have definitely seen his work. Weiss is responsible for the photos that made our favorite musicians and actors into legends. Weiss is incredibly prolific with work spanning from the late 70's till today. His current exhibition chronicles his work from the 70's through the early 90's. Check out http://www.markweissgallery.com/ and you will be amazed at how many of your favorite album covers, and photos were shot by him. Mark Weiss he has truly lived the life of a rock and roll great, yet he has remained incredibly humble. The show honors the amazing contribution that Mark Weiss has made to our experience of pop culture.
Alex and I had the pleasure of being personally invited by Mark to his opening. We trekked out to Atlantic City (port authority bus and all), and got a well needed breather from Manhattan. The gallery was filled with photos from everyone from Guns' N Roses, to Blondie, to Cher. We had fun checking out the show and the Boogie Nights nightclub. It was especially cool to see Mark in one of my own creations. If I must say so myself, he looks amazing in that Tit Tie!

I was hoping to interview maybe sometime if you aren't busy? Do an article for this online magazine, encorestatus.com?

Wow, from a Slayer cover to a photo of Jerry Garcia...a photographer after my own heart! I think going on the bus and then being VIPS to this show is the perfect glimpse into rock n' roll lifestyle.

I am in LOVE with your corset/vest/top!! Looks like you had a fab time :)
thanks for dropping by girl :)
and your blog awesome! you seem really fun :)
Fucking awesome!
Ugh, I would have so loved to see this exhibit! Just browsing those pics brought back so many memories (yes, what happened to all the hair bands? Well, apart from the ones doing bad reality shows). Love your Twisted Sister/Dee pose by the way! And you're right about how photography defines rock 'n' roll in it's own way, especially as a lot of rock bands were about stage presence and an image, which could only be visualised in photography. Thanks for sharing!
I just wanted to say I haven't forgotten doing an interview with you...watch this space ;)
so I love your blog so much it's ridiculous
You look absolutely wicked, LOVE the 2nd photo x
