Following on from last years very well received production, we proudly present the SMILER 2016 Calendar! It’s printed on top quality 200gsm silk paper with a fully gloss laminated cover, and it features stunning photographs old and new.
Once again we have some of the best Rod photographers in the business, including Don Adkins who has come along way since the mid 70’s when he borrowed his father’s Minolta SR-T 101 to take photos at a George Harrison concert at The LA Forum – introducing him to a captivating aspect of photography. Don’s work mainly revolves around the world of rock music, both in the studio, and on stage for a variety of clients and publications. His work includes images of Rod, Elton John, Iggy Pop, U2, Genesis, David Byrne, Sammy Hagar, Stevie Nicks, Bon Jovi, Peter Gabriel, Jackson Browne, Alanis Morrisette, and many others. Don is joining us for the third time this year and has contributed another brilliant exclusive image.
Also joining us again this year is Dan Cuny who was born in Chicago and has lived in the Bay Area of America since 1967. Throughout the 1970s, he photographed many performances of British musicians at venues in the Bay Area using a Hanimex Praktica camera with a Sears 200mm lens. His photographs have appeared in BAM, Musician, and Guitar Player, and he served as a staff photographer at Fantasy Records. He has maintained a lifelong interest in cameras and photography, and currently collects and sells photographic items as a hobby,
You all loved his Faces photographs last year and you won’t be disappointed this year.
Also Joining us this year is A.J, Sullivan an artist living and working in Massachusetts who photographed the Faces in Boston in 1970.
We also bring you bang up to date with some amazing shots contributed by our SMILER members, and as usual we have a few surprises!
At the back of the calendar we have all the entries that made it onto Yve’s competition montage featuring all your memorabilia photographs, and it looks like Rod and Penny will have a hard time choosing the winners this year.
As an extra Thank You for your support through out the year, we will be sending out a free A3 size gloss laminated photograph of Rod while stocks last..you really don’t want to miss this..it is FANTASTIC!
