Pop, Punk and Rock Photographer Brad Elterman to Show at San Francisco's Gallery 3175

SAN FRANCISCO and LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Famed 1970s and 80s pop, punk and rock paparazzi photographer Brad Elterman (www.bradelterman.com/exhibits.html) will participate in a special photo event at San Francisco's Gallery 3175 on September 9, 7pm to 12am. Classic Elterman images supporting the theme 'It's Only Rock N Roll' will be a key part of this multi-photographer exhibition. Photographer presentations start at 8:30pm, to be followed by live bands and a guest DJ. Gallery 3175 is located at 3175 17th Street, San Francisco.

The Northern California event comes on the heels of Elterman's successful exhibition 'Made in LA.' Elterman will cohost a closing reception for this show on Saturday, August 26, 7pm to 10pm at Bamboo Lane Gallery. The show runs through September 2. The gallery is located at 418 Bamboo Lane in Chinatown, Los Angeles. Public welcome.

"My images freeze in time an era that's no more -- a time when paparazzi and celebrity shooters had unencumbered access to the great stars and musicians of the day," says Elterman. "My exhibition reflects some of the photographers who influenced my own work and style: Bob Gruen, Ken Regan and Richard Creamer. Diane Arbus and Helen Levitt were also influential with their quality to capture the spark, the moment in people."

Elterman, who landed his first published image at age 16, traveled the world and partied backstage with The Ramones, KISS, The Sex Pistols and Bob Dylan. From 1974 to 1980 he photographed everyone from Joan Jett and Jackie Onassis, to Frank Sinatra and Blondie.

Both events are open to the public and members of the media are invited. For information about the L.A. event, call Bamboo Lane Gallery, 213-620-1188. For information on the San Francisco night, visit www.rootdivision.org/events_calendar.html
