If it were a fairy tale, Bob Barry -- Jazzography In Black & White would begin "Once upon a time a father gave his son an old Kodak camera."
That single act by Bob's father set the course for the rest of his life and ultimately resulted in his career as a "jazzographer." A specialty best described by Bob's mentor and legendary jazz photographer Ray Avery as "performance portraits" and defined as artists in action in their natural habitat photographed in available light. His work has been exhibited at the prestigious American Jazz Museum in Kansas City, the Brand Library in Pasadena and dozens of other venues in the United States and abroad including a permanent collection installed at the sound department of Universal Studios.
