I made a little clip for our studio guest this week. Lior is a very nice young man with a bright future in music. He has a powerful presence and a great crisp style that will delight and inspire. Keep an eye out for him on his Australian Tour. Have a listen to his albums Autumn Flow, Daniel or Doorways of my Mind (Live).. I have removed the video as the sound was a little boxy and didn’t do true justice to Lior’s sound… I hope to go to a Lior gig soon and bring you some photos…. Keep watching… Cheers Gavin.

The genesis of my “Rock Photography” interests.
This pic was taken on December 24th 2000 at the New York City Hall, 123 W 43rd St, New York, NY. The Artist is David Broza, a fantastic Israeli guitarist who I met whilst doing a radio show with Joey Reynolds at WOR 710. I was lucky enough to be in Joey’s studio when David played an acoustic live set… I was blown away… to be privy to that amazing talent in a room with just 5 of us. (Joey, Kenny Kramer, Sue, David and me) .. oh yes.. and the rest of America listening on WOR710 …. anyhow… David gave Sue and I a couple of Tickets and an invite backstage after the show…. I had a small digital camera at the time Nikon CoolPix 900 (it wasn’t even a Megapixel camera)…. So I also had a small monocular (telescope) which I attached to the camera as a kind of crude telephoto lens.. crude as in Gaffer tape and rubberbands.. and got this shot… which started my creative ball rolling. Now I am the proud owner of a Nikon D2X 12 Megapixel Digital SLR camera and a Nikon 200 mm f2 telephoto lens. I am looking forward to getting down to the Corner Hotel again and shooting a few more artists!… Cheers Tex
