"BE TRUE"
Bruce Springsteen in New Jersey 1999-2009
A Photography Exhibit by Danny Clinch
September 18-27 2009
Asbury Park Boardwalk, New Jersey
Acclaimed rock n' roll photographer and New Jersey native Danny Clinch is pleased to announce, "Be True" a photography exhibit featuring Bruce Springsteen photographed exclusively in New Jersey.
The gallery show will be held in the Third Ave Pavilion on the historic Asbury Park Boardwalk, opening on September 18th and closing on September 27, 2009.
The photographs will reflect Springsteen solo, with The E Street Band and Seeger Sessions Band, documenting the ten years Clinch has photographed Springsteen, which has resulted in album covers for "The Rising," "The Seeger Sessions" and "Working on a Dream." Clinch also contributed every tour book since 1999 and served as director for the Grammy nominated music video for "Devils and Dust".
There are reasons even closer to home for Clinch to hold the exhibit of his fellow Jersey Shore resident. "One, it falls during Bruce's 60th birthday. Two, I am really excited about what is happening now in Asbury Park. I've been here through the good and the bad, I'm excited to see how far its come in the past couple of years, especially, the vibe on the boardwalk."
The Garden State locations that serve as the inspiration for "Be True" range from Springsteen's home studio in New Jersey horse country, the now shuttered Fort Monmouth, the soon to be demolished Giants Stadium and such iconic Asbury Park locations such as the Stone Pony, Paramount Theater, Convention Hall and the revitalized boardwalk.
"I've traveled the world photographing Springsteen and The E Street Band but I thought it would be cool for it to focus it all on New Jersey. He's been such a champion and a supporter of New Jersey, especially the Shore. He's been true to his roots and I want to show that part of him."
Staying true to the Springsteen ethos, Clinch will have two photographs that will be raffled off to benefit the Asbury Park Fire Department and The Food Bank of Monmouth/Ocean Counties.
Their working relationship has grown over the years and their trust level shows through their body of work. "He is great to work with, he gets involved in the process, he's a collaborator, he participates in the shoot, he's not one of the guys that just stands there," laughs Clinch.
"He loves photography as well, so he puts 100% in what we are doing together. Having a relationship with an artist like him, I am able to document these rare moments, that work into my love and respect for his music."
