Eye to eye

"Eye to Eye: Photographs by Graham Nash gathers for the first time more than 150 photographs by rock musician Graham Nash. While best known as a founding member of the supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, Nash also developed a parallel career as a photographer, collector, and digital imaging pioneer. Inspired by his father, Nash began taking pictures at the age of 11. Spanning the years 1953 to 2000, the photographs in Eye to Eye include revealing portraits of family and friends, images of life on the road, still lifes and landscapes, street photographs, and a unique series of self-portraits in which Nash is often reflected in windows and mirrors." "In 1971, Nash began collecting photographs, and by the late 1980s he had built one of the most important collections in private hands, including more than 2,400 prints by both early photographers and modern masters of the medium. In 1990, he sold his collection at auction and invested the income from the sale in Nash Editions, the first fine-art digital printmaking studio in the world. In 1998, a traveling exhibition, Digital Frontiers: Photography's Future at Nash Editions, was organized by the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography in Rochester, New York."--BOOK JACKET
