Iconic Seventies Paparazzi Exhibition Extended Closing Party Set for July 17,
7-11pm in Venice, CA

LOS ANGELES, July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Legendary Independent bookstore Equator
Books of Venice, California has announced the extension of Brad Elterman's
http://bradelterman.com/2008/press.html seventies paparazzi gallery exhibition
and a closing night reception set for July 17, 7-11pm. The public is welcome.

Venice locals, including prominent figures from the local entertainment
industry, supported the gallery exhibition. "Sales of Brad's fine art
seventies paparazzi prints went incredibly well so we decided to hold the
exhibition over for three additional weeks," says Equator co-owner Michael
Deyermond. "We have a very loyal group of customers and they really embraced
Brad's work and his new book, 'Like It Was Yesterday.' The show closes on July
22, but we will still have access to the collection."

The signed and numbered limited edition prints depict the escapades of a true
teenage paparazzo with incredible access to legendary talent done with or
without their permission. Elterman's subjects included Michael Jackson, David
Bowie, Bob Dylan, Joan Jett of The Runaways and a teenage Matt Dillon.

"I was friends with many of the bands and celebrities back then, but if I was
turned down on a photo shoot, I just tracked them down and took the photos any
way I could. A photo pass to a concert meant nothing to me. A photo of a rock
star holding a microphone is a dime a dozen. I wanted to photograph stars
backstage with a groupie, playing soccer in the park or simply walking down
the street. Performing the paparazzi technique on rocks stars was practically
unheard of back in the seventies and I guess that is why there is so much
interest in my photographs these days," says Elterman.

"We were blown away with all of the press exposure the exhibition attracted,"
comments Deyermond. "There was a full page feature in the Los Angeles Times,
eight pages in the French fashion magazine, L'Officiel and a story in MOJO."

When doing photo exhibitions, Elterman is a co-owner of the paparazzi photo
agency, http://www.buzzfoto.com/ and has just launched his first blog
http://bradelterman.tumblr.com/ . "I am having the time of my life these days
and it is important for me to thank Michael and Philip from Equator Books for
all of their hard work and support," says Elterman.

Equator Books is located at 1103 Abbott Kinney Blvd in Venice, California.
They are open six days a week and closed on Mondays.
