On Friday, November 12th 2010 James Hamilton opened his first exhibition of B & W photographs of music world luminaries at KS Art in Tribeca, in conjunction with the launching of his monograph published by Peace Library. The book was edited by musician Thurston Moore, and the exhibition was curated by Elisabeth Biondi, editor of images at The New Yorker.

This book combines the eye of a fine-art photographer with the passion of a true music fan.
