⚡️Happy Birthday to photographer extraordinaire Dominique Tarlé who took some of the of the most famous photographs in music history, including this one during the legendary Rolling Stones Exile on Main St. recordings in the South of France in 1971. 🇫🇷 You can see Dominique reflected in the mirror in this amazing shot.. 😉 Joyeux anniversaire Dominique! 🎉 @tarledominique Keith Richards reclines on the parquet floor of the luxurious Villa Nellcôte in the South of France during the legendary Exile on Main St. recordings. ✨ Seated with what appears to be his legendary 1953 Fender Telecaster - nicknamed "Micawber" - in his lap, Keith is surrounded by Anita Pallenberg, looking as stylish as ever with her legs slung over an armchair, Gram Parsons, and Parsons' girlfriend at the time, Gretchen Burrell. The guitar was supposedly gifted to him on his 27th birthday about 6 months earlier by Eric Clapton, and it remains one of his very favorite instruments to this day. ❤️ This image is the most iconic and sought-after photograph from that legedary Summer of 1971. The scene perfectly captures the long warm nights spent working out riffs and the endless mix of family and friends that streamed in and out of that estate. ☀️ This photograph is extremely rare and limited - please contact us for more information via email [email protected] or DM us here. Blender Gallery is the the exclusive representative in Australia for Dominique Tarlé's photographs. ✌️❤️🎶 @tarledominique @officialkeef #keithrichards #exileonmainstreet #villanellcote #dominiquetarle #southoffrance #gramparsons #anitapallenberg #therollingstones #rockandroll #musichistory #legendsneverdie #rockroyalty #telecaster #ericclapton #soulsurvivor #sweetvirginia #rocksoff #exile #muse #icon #fashionista #style #seventies #iconic #rockicon #musicphotography #rocknroll #blendergallery https://www.instagram.com/p/CrxcvkmvfIQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

✨ Oh Yoko! ✨Celebrating her 90th birthday.. ! A brilliant lady.. A peace activist, musician, and one of the most daring and influential artists of our time! 🙌⭐️ This is one of our most favourite photos of Yoko by Ethan Russell shot in 1968 - here's what he had to say about it: "She has seldom looked more beautiful in my opinion. She and John were newly a couple and not that public yet. This was 1968, and shot in Abbey Rd studios." ☮️ Happy Birthday @yokoono ☀️ Peace & Love✌️❤️🎶 @ethanarussell #imaginepeace #YokoOno #johnlennon #ethanrussell #rockandroll #musichistory #ohyoko #yoko #wishingtree #johnandyoko #beatles #lennon #abbeyroad #classicrock #muse #style #icon #legendsneverdie #music-photography #rockroyalty #sixties #muse #peace #love #inspiration #rockicon #rocknroll #blendergallery (at Blender Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co0a1IRh9Rw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

✨“And in the end The love you take Is equal to the love you make”✨💔RIP John Lennon 💔 9 October 1940 - 8 December 1980. 42 Years ago today, this now infamous photograph was taken by Annie Leibowitz for Rolling Stone Magazine on December 8, 1980, just hours before Lennon was murdered outside the Dakota building in New York City. Here is how she described it: "I sometimes think of that photograph as 10 years in the making. I met John Lennon and Yoko Ono in New York in the early part of my career. It was 1980, and he had just finished the album Double Fantasy with Yoko. I had seen the cover, which was both of them kissing. And I thought, Oh my gosh. This was the 1980s—romance was a little dead. And I was so moved by that kiss. There was so much in that simple picture of a kiss. So, for the photo I wanted to take, I imagined them somehow together. And it wasn't a stretch to imagine them with their clothes off, because they did it all the time. But what happened at the last minute was that Yoko didn't want to take her clothes off. So, we went ahead with the picture, and it was this very striking picture of Yoko clothed against a naked John. And of course, John was murdered later that afternoon. It's actually an excellent example of how circumstances change a picture. Suddenly, that photograph has a story. You're looking at it and thinking it's their last kiss, or they're saying goodbye. You can make up all sorts of things about it. I think it's amazing when there's a lot of levels to a photograph." ✨ Incredible story, incredible photograph.. incredible man RIP John.. 42 Years on, your life continues to profoundly influence others.. 🕊 Swipe ⬅️ for some beautiful and moving photographs by Lynn Goldsmith, Allan Tannenbaum, Ethan Russell, Bob Gruen, Duffy, Rowland Scherman and Robert Whitaker Peace & Love ✌️❤️🎶 @johnlennon @yokoono #imaginepeace #johnlennon #yokoono #annieleibovitz #newyork #dakotabuilding #nyc #rollingstonemagazine #musicphotography #beatles #musichistory #rockandroll #doublefantasy #lovers #muse #legendsneverdie #rockroyalty #rockicon #peace #love #style #icon #culture #blendergallery #blendergallery (at Blender Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl5VLPiP5Wx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

⚡️Happy Birthday Kurt! ❤️ Love this via @jessefrohman “While the years keep piling on, Kurt stays young forever in our memories (and photos!). He remains as a great influencer in both music and culture. And I’m so fortunate to have shared some moments with this icon and to have been able to immortalize him in my portraits. I’m posting some of these rarely seen pictures of Nirvana as a tribute to the recently received Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.” Congrats to @davestruestories and @kristnovoselic__ @nirvana__879878978 @kurtcobain Peace & Love ✌️❤️🎶 #kurtcobain #nirvana #davegrohl #kristnovoselic #kurt #kurdt #jessefrohman #thelastsession #nevermind #inutero #rockandroll #musicphotography #musichistory #legendsneverdie #rockroyalty #grunge #smellsliketeenspirit #style #icon #muse #rockicon #punk #rocknroll #blendergallery (at Blender Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co6GRwMPiLW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

⚡️ Happy Monday rockers! Want to know the story behind this very famous photo of Frank Zappa?! 👑 Join us this Thursday evening January 19th 6-8pm for a little summer soirée with British photographer Robert Davidson - who has landed in Australia for the first time! He will be telling the story of how he snapped Zappa “on the krappa”, signing exclusive posters (swipe ⬅️) and books - come down for a drink and a chat 🥂 RSVP: [email protected] Here’s a lil taste…. 😎 In the summer of 1967, nineteen year old photographer Robert Davidson was commissioned to shoot Frank Zappa in his London hotel room to promote an upcoming concert at the Royal Albert Hall. Zappa let him in upon arrival and proceeded to use the toilet. Robert seized the opportunity and immediately asked through the ajar door if he could take his picture on the throne – Zappa obliged. This set of images, commonly known as the ‘Zappa Krappa’ pictures almost immediately gained cult status, a sentiment echoed by Zappa himself in 1983, when stating, “I’m probably more famous for sitting on the toilet than for anything else.” Peace & Love! ✌️❤️🎶 #frankzappa #zappa #robertdavidson #rockandroll #musichistory #musicphotography #psychadelic #sixties #legendsneverdie #rockroyalty #cult #rare #style #icon #muse #rockicon #rocknroll #blendergallery (at Blender Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CndDvv_hQxB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
