Stunning JBJ Photos

Hijacked admittedly and unashamedly from photographer John Chapple's site.  He's got a great little article about the experience as well.  Fun read.  Thanks, John, for posting these absolutely gorgeous photos.  And your wife handled the assignment of assistant WAY better than I would have :)  Cheers to you for bringing her with you.

 

This one's my favorite.  *sigh*

About the Photographer:

The Photographer

John Chapple was born and raised on the rugged North Devon coast of England, where the spectacular scenery inspired him to pick up a camera at the age of 14. Self-taught, John began a successful career as a news photographer in the UK, and then overseas in both Australia and the US.

During the past 20 years he has become a regular contributor to a wide variety of publications from The Times of London to Rolling Stone and everything in between.

Assignments have included the 9/11 atrocities in New York, Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and the Columbine High School shootings in Colorado.

John has also captured the lighter side of life covering Hollywood red carpet events featuring the biggest names in showbiz, and stunning celebrity portraits of stars including Jon Bon Jovi, Shirley McClaine, Samuel L. Jackson and Hilary Swank.

You can learn more about John, and see more of his fabulous work, at his website.

JBJ Hamilton College Benefit Concert

A JBJ/KOS (not King of Swing, but Kings of Suburbia) concert benefitting Hamilton College has been announced. Now, before everyone dusts off their wallets, according to, Hamilton's newspaper, The Spectator the concert is intended primarily for Hamilton alumni, parents and those affiliated with the College, but members of the Hamilton community are welcome to bring friends to the event.

There is nothing listed about how/if restrictions will be made, but with only a thousand-odd tickets available, I would imagine there would be some sort of "proof of residency" deal with the sales.  However, that's all speculation on my part; that information should be on Hamilton's web site next week.

Jon Bon Jovi and The Kings of Suburbia

Benefit Concert for Scholarships and the Arts at Hamilton College

Wednesday, December 5, 2012, 8 p.m.

Best Buy Theater, 1515 Broadway at W. 44th Street, New York, NY 10036

The concert is open to all Hamilton alumni, parents and friends, but fewer than 1,200 tickets are available.

The concert will help to fund the new theatre and studio arts facilities. Construction of these facilities began in the summer of 2012 and will provide more classrooms, studios and workshops for visual arts students. The building will also contain performance spaces, technical equipment and design spaces for theater theatre students. Artists of all disciplines will have the opportunity to collaborate in the Interdisciplinary Studio for Trans-Media Arts and Related Studies (STARS). The new facility will open in the summer of 2014. The Ruth and Elmer Wellin Museum of Art, which will open this year, and the new visual art and theater theatre facility make up the new art complex funded by gifts from the Bicentennial Initiatives campaign.

Jon Bon Jovi and The Kings of Suburbia will also help to continue Hamilton’s need-blind initiative by donating another portion of the concert’s proceeds to student scholarships.

Tickets will be available beginning the week of September 17. More information is available at www.hamilton.edu/jbj.

Travel packages were announced earlier this month for the London and NYC events. They're PROBABLY sold out by now (though I have absolutely no proof/evidence of same) but chatter has been that they're pretty much prohibitively expensive. Are people really surprised at the cost of those packages?
