It was one of the coldest nights this winter, but we had a great showing for our monthly meeting this month! So many came out to see Debra Rothenberg's work and everybody was happy they did. She had great photos and great stories! It was a great start for 2015.
Debra L. Rothenberg's first book, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN IN FOCUS PHOTOGRAPHS 1980-2012 hit books stores in October 1, 2013. The Wall Street Journal said it was one of "the best photo books for fall" and The NY Daily News called it "amazing" and it was #2 on the amazon best sellers list for several months.
