“Who shot Rock & Roll” at the Brooklyn museum is being advertised on the subway right now and the ad doesn’t tell you who shot rock and roll, but who they shot. I’ll be interested in seeing the exhibit to see who the photographers are. It’s a shame that they aren’t promoting the actual photographers, but I guess such is the way with celebrity photography. It’s just odd that they call the exhibit what they have but don’t advertise any of the photographers, just the people that the photographers took picture of!? Shouldn’t it be “Who was shot in Rock & Roll?”

There are some 105 photographers represented in the exhibition–far too many to put in an advertisement.

There is enough space in the advertisement to place 9 musicians names though. My point is that the general public are much more interested in seeing who is photographed in an exhibition like this, rather than who is taking the photographs. The Brooklyn Museum must know that and thought it more important to include a few of the musicians rather than a few of the photographers.
