Sinopsis
Much has been written of Ron Galella . Widely regarded as the most famous and most controversial celebrity photographer in the world—he's been dubbed “Paparazzo Extraordinaire” by Newsweek and “the Godfather of U.S. paparazzi culture” by Vanity Fair —Galella is clearly willing to take great risks to get the perfect shot. As a result, he has endured two highly publicized court battles with Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis, a broken jaw at the hands of Marlon Brando, and a serious beating by Richard Burton’s bodyguards before being jailed in Cuernavaca, Mexico. But ultimately, it is his passion for the fine art of photography, coupled with a dedicated do-it-yourself approach to his craft—few artists can claim his level of skill in making their own prints—that sees Ron's body of work exhibited at museums and galleries throughout the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in both New York and San Francisco, the Tate Modern in London, and the Helmut Newton Foundation Museum of Photography in Berlin. Ron's passion for photojournalism has also given rise to eight highly acclaimed books including Disco Years , which was honored as Best Photography Book of 2006 by The New York Times , and Smash His Camera , a documentary of his life and career by Oscar- winning director, Leon Gast ( When We Were Kings , 1996), that will premiere at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and compete for Best U.S. Documentary. Tantamount to his recognition here at home, the government of Basilicata graciously honored Ron, whose father, Vincenzo Galella, was born in Muro Lucano, by making him an honorary citizen of the Italian region in 2009. Basilicata also opened Ron Galella: Italian Icons , a traveling exhibit of over 70 of Ron’s photos, at Palazzo Lanfranchi’s Carlo Levi Hall in Matera. In conjunction with the opening, Ron launched his most recent title, Viva l’Italia! —a collection of over 225 images of Italian and Italian-American celebrities from Frank Sinatra to Sophia Loren. A native New Yorker, Ron served as a United States Air Force photographer during the Korean conflict before attending the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, where he earned a degree in Photojournalism.

Hi. Thanks for looking at my storefront. I have been a bookseller since 1981 . I have worked for such national and local New York booksellers as Barnes and Noble, Marboro Books (B&N's mail order division) , Shakespeare and Company, The Mysterious Bookshop, Cooper Square Books, and Bookazine Wholesalers. I have also been a sales representative for a number of small book presses.
