Roberta goes to Berlin
Photographer Roberta Bayley went down to Argentina
last year for a large scale solo photo exhibition, and
this time she was invited by Ramones Museum Belrin for
another exhibiton there.
(Ramones Museum Berlin, with awning mimic CBGB,
where Ramones were playing when they started. )
The museum, located in the center of Berlin along side
of river Spree, is one of popular tourist attraction in
the city, with more than 1000 Ramones related items
for display, from posters, photos, stage clothing and
instruments they used, to some rare memorabilia.

In addition to exhibiting photos of music scene of 70's
downtown NY, she had a slide show with Q&A, and
special signed and numbered photographs were sold.
Also, there were never-been-publish/shown photos of
"surfing Joey Ramone" and other rare photos on
display.

(photo of Ramones originally shot for PUNK Magazine,
then became the cover of their first album, with outtakes
from that same photo shoot)
We heard it was very successful show, and Roberta who
just got back from Berlin said that it was "Fantastic trip,
lots of fun and good times".
