BOB GRUEN – ALL I’VE GOT IS A PHOTOGRAPH

Say the words JOHN LENNON, NEW YORK and PHOTOGRAPHER and the name of Bob Gruen immediately comes to center stage.

One of the most well-known and prominent New York-based photographers with a specialty and knack for taking superb rock photos. Meeting John and Yoko in the early 70’s, he became one of their favorite photographers to help document their decision to move to the Big Apple and create a new chapter in their often complex lives! Bob took some of the most memorable photos of the couple and also of them as individuals. I can cite the photo of John in front of the Statue of Liberty and the New York City Tee shirt photo on the roof as clear examples. Bob’s honored place in the pantheon of rock photographers is certainly assured…
