Cooper Union, Foundation Building — © Brian Rose I have not previously weighed in on the controversy embroiling my alma mater The Cooper Union, one of the most prestigious and historic schools in America. I read the paper, I look at websites, and hear things, but I have no inside track on what is going […]

New York/East Village/Lower East Side

Broadway and East 9th Street — © Brian Rose   Ridge Street — © Brian Rose A few random pictures and random thoughts. As my Lower East Side show approaches I wonder how (or if) the work will be put in context with the photography being made back in the late 70s, and the way […]

Comparing two tests before making a 50×62 inch print — © Brian Rose I have completed printing for my upcoming show at Dillon Gallery in New York City. The opening is March 7, and I’ll be posting a formal invitation soon. Yesterday I spent about eight hours in the lab shepherding my digital files through […]

New York/Jack Hardy

Joe Henderson, Jeff Hardy, Jack Hardy, and Howie Wyeth, late ’70s — © Brian Rose I’ve written before about Jack Hardy, my songwriter friend, who died almost two years ago. I recently attended a memorial service for his father, Gordon Hardy. An earlier post here. And jackhardy.com here. Jack cultivated the role of the self-taught […]

West Street – © Brian Rose Even on the gold coast of the West Village with some of the most expensive real estate in the world, there are, amazingly, still scenes like this one.        

New York/Lower East Side

  East 3rd Street — © Brian Rose Inauguration day (and Martin Luther King day) 2013. Just a scary reminder of what could have been had things turned out differently four years ago. The poster above, of course, is Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin, the former vice presidential candidate, now sliding, it would seem, into […]

Hudson River Greenway — © Brian Rose This is an image made a number of months ago with the 4×5 camera that I’ve just gotten around to scanning. WTC 1 had reached it’s full height–even now the glass is not all the way to the top.        

New York/Frank Christian

Adding to a post from a few days ago: In 1982 I was asked by Frank Christian to take photographs for his forthcoming album “Somebody’s got to do it.” I went to Frank’s skylighted studio apartment on the top floor of a Greenwich Village townhouse, and we sat around chatting, drinking coffee, snapping pictures. The […]

New York/Upcoming Show

  A very nice piece written by Eric Walstedt about my upcoming show at the Dillon Gallery. Eric, the director of the gallery, lived on the Lower East Side in 1980 when I began photographing the neighborhood with Ed Fausty. The exhibition will feature about 25 images from Time and Space on the Lower East […]

Brooklyn Bridge 1980 — © Brian Rose/Edward Fausty Time and Space on the Lower East Side came out near the end of May 2012. Deciding to do the book with a small independent publisher–after several rejections by established companies–was a big step. Raising money via Kickstarter was also a major undertaking, but in the end […]
