Daniels said, “He took me
to heights I may never have
known if he hadn’t come into
my life. When you’d trade licks
with Tommy, you’d best bring
it all, because that’s what he did
every night.”
“The Art of the
Guitar” Photography
Show to Launch
in New York
BY REBECCA DIRKS
NEW YORK, NY – The Morrison
Hotel Gallery loft in Soho will
host “The Art of the Guitar:
The Photography of Jonathan
Singer” beginning February 11.
The fine art photography exhibition features photographs of
some of the rarest guitars in the
world, curated by Buzzy Levine,
owner of Lark Street Music.
Photographer Jonathan Singer
is a renowned botanical photog-
rapher who has been shooting
guitars for more than 20 years.
Singer describes his style, saying,
““By turning the guitar into an
art piece it takes on a whole new
meaning. The style I use either
makes the guitars melt into the
background or jump off the
paper they are printed on. The
instrument must have the power
to be a celebrity on its own.”
The guitars in the photo-
graphs came from both guitar
shops and private collections,
and cover both vintage and
modern rarities.
