Who Shot Rock & Roll

Went to an awesome art exhibit yesterday in LA.  
Wanted to share with you some of the brilliant photos we were able to check out.

Some incredibly iconic shots, most of which were extremely ground breaking for their time and hold a lot of history behind them.  
A history of rock icons ; 1955-present . These are the photos that shaped decades!

Loved this one~ an amazingly youthful-faced Jimi, playing his upside-down guitar behind Wilson Pickett.

If you live in LA, it's worth a trip to go see this exhibit while it's in town.  
It's running through October 7th at  

'The Annenberg Space for Photography'
