“If a picture is worth a thousand words, then Debra Rothenberg’s book about Bruce Springsteen is priceless.” – Tom Cunningham, Host, Bruce Brunch, 105.7 The Hawk
In honor of Bruce Springsteen’s upcoming 65th Birthday, Bergen County Camera and Gallery 270 are honored to present an inspiring talk, book signing and exhibit by Bergen County’s own Debra Rothenberg. Deb will recount her long road to success with her photography, culminating with the recent realization of her dream to publish a book documenting her decades photographing New Jersey icon, Bruce Springsteen on and off the stage, in concerts all over the world. There are wonderful takeaways regarding the focus and determination necessary to get memorable photographs. While Deb is certainly famous for the Springsteen material, she’s an all round, versatile photographer who’s great candid advice will be appreciated by aspiring photographers of all kinds.
After the approximate one hour talk with suitable time for Q and A, Deb will meet with you and sign and personalize copies of her book, “Bruce Springsteen In Focus 1980 – 2012.” Books will be available for sale and personalization during the event. We will also have a varied group of Debs signed photographs for $100 – $1000 in black and white and color, matted, matted and framed and mounted on metal. Purchase a signed, matted and framed print today and we will include a signed and personalized copy of Deb’s book as our additional thank you gift.

In honor of Bruce Springsteen’s 65th birthday on September 23, Bergen County Camera and Gallery 270 are offering friends of Table to Table an opportunity to own a rare photographic image of the Boss taken at Madison Square Garden, November 9, 2009.
It was an auspicious evening as Bruce played the entire album “The River” and it was also the last Garden appearance of the E Street Band with Clarence Clemons who would play his final show with the band later that month in Buffalo.
The edition of 100 prints are the highest quality ultrachrome on metal, featured in a wood frame matching Bruce’s Fender guitar. The 16” x 20” image was taken from the pit by Tom Gramegna with a Leica D-Lux 4.
A percentage of the initial offering price of $750 will benefit Table to Table, a community based food rescue program that collects prepared and perishable food that would otherwise be wasted and delivers it to organizations that serve the hungry in Bergen, Essex, Hudson and Passaic counties. and each print purchased provides 3,500 meals. Visit Bergen County Camera in Westwood, Gallery 270 in Englewood, or give us a call at (201)871-4113 for more information.

Leica Boutique Bergen County is pleased to announce that we have come into possession of a very special limited edition Leica set!
To commemorate 100 years of Leica photography (film to digital) the fine folks in Germany have begun to ship a set which includes 2 spectacular camera bodies and 3 unique lenses.
One body is the first film camera Leica has made in over 10 years. The M-A film camera is as traditional as they come. Completely manual and mechanical ala the original M3’s of the late 50’s. Old school traditional for the artist in all of us. The second is an M Monochrome for your digital side: superb quality and dynamic range unmatched by any digital camera. The best of analog and digital black and white photography in one limited edition set. Both are in a unique silver color and the set is capped off with 3 beautiful Summilux 1.4 Aspherical lenses . The stainless steel hand milled lenses are 35mm,50mm and our first look at the brand new 28mmf1.4. The set comes packaged in a specifically designed Rimowa hard aluminum case and is limited to 101 pieces worldwide!
We are, as of this writing, taking delivery of our 1 and only set. Past camera sets usually sell out rather quickly.
Please call our boutique at 201-664-4113 and ask to speak to Bob or Jeremy in our Leica Boutique.
