SHOT! The Psycho-Spiritual Mantra of Rock
at The Little Cinema
This is a deep look into the mind of one of rock's greatest living photographers, Mick Rock, whose work with some of the most accomplished personalities of the past forty years - including David Bowie, Queen, Blondie and many others - created many of the images that would come to define them. Presented in his own words, Rock takes us through his journey from the glam rock shimmer of London, through the snarl of NYC punk, and into the new millennium.
