Sheri Lynn Behr grew up in the Bronx, and studied photography and digital imaging in New York City at the New School, ICP, and Pratt Manhattan. Her photographs of musicians in the 1970s appeared in most music publications of the time, including Rolling Stone, Creem, and Billboard, and she often shot on assignment for major recording companies such as RCA and Arista and Atlantic Records. These images are now considered fine art photographs and have been included in several photography exhibitions.

ahhh Elizabeth... only you for bringing happyness to a boring warm rainny saturday afternoom with a such wonderful Ramones photo.
SHERI LYNN BEHR made exellent works for all her carrier.
The funny part of this post is that the "vintage" photos are about artists performing and making things happen . While the most recent one is of Bonno doing the silly sign with hand and trying to look "correct" "nice" and being "populist" .
I think that with this Sheri is again being totaly faithul to what is happening not only with Rock'n'roll but with arts in general today.
This is what a great photographer does.
Thank you .
