Accretion: Julian Lennon The Morrison Hotel Gallery
Saturday night was the
setting at the Sunset Marquis Hotel and Villas for the wonderful
photography exhibition by Julian Lennon at the new Morrison Gallery in
the entrance of the hotel. The event brought in many celebrities
including Lionel Ritchie, Gary Oldman, Billy Bob Thornton and many
musicians, actors and photographers. The Morrison is now the West Coast
edition of the famous New York gallery with an emphasis on photos of
rock and roll icons.

Julian’s work is truly unique. He not only has an
artistic sense of lighting, he has a special ability for catching his
musician photos at very unique moments. These are not publicity photos
of musicians, but moments in time when many are at their most
introspective. Julian also has a passion for landscapes and aerial
photos of mountains, clouds and cities. There is a series of New York
City photos that are surreal and beautiful shot from a plane with a view
of Manhattan Island.
Box sets of beautiful pictures were there to be seen. The titles of
the sets are very meaningful; Alone, Timeless and Timeless with Lyrics,
Everything Changes and Charlene Wittstock. The landscape photography
is brilliant. Needless to say, the rock and roll photos are from a
player and musician’s eye and include photos of U2, Bono, Sean Lennon of
course and many others.
Julian is a popular personality and he brought out a great gathering
of musicians and artists to the event. A day before the Grammys had the
hotel packed with artists here for the show. The Sunset Marquis is
famous as the hide away hangout of the Rock & Roll elite and this
was certainly no exception.
