NEW YORK – She’s been photographing Bruce Springsteen for 32 years. Her Springsteen photos have been exhibited in galleries and published in top magazines around the world. Like Bruce Springsteen, Debra L. Rothenberg was born and raised in New Jersey.
And now, finally, through more than four different decades of concert tours in national and international arenas and stadiums, and impromptu Jersey Shore club appearances – from the legendary Stone Pony in Asbury Park to less notorious nightspots like Rum Runner in Sea Bright and Cheers in Long Branch – the award-winning photographer has gathered it all in one glorious hardbound tribute to the man who inspired her dreams. BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN IN FOCUS 1980-2012 (Turn the Page Publishing), is an unparalleled collection of memorable and iconic Springsteen photography from a perspective only a true “Jersey Girl” could offer. Selected by the Wall Street Journal as one of its “Best Photo Books for Fall” and called “amazing” by the New York Daily News, this 276 photo, 200-page coffee table book is a must for all fans, chronicling The Boss from “The River” Tour to “The Wrecking Ball” Tour and many Jersey Shore haunts in-between. Says Robert Santelli, executive director of the Grammy Museum and fellow Jersey Shore native who has authored books and numerous articles on The Boss: “When it comes to photographers that have documented the career of Bruce Springsteen on the Jersey Shore, Debra Rothenberg has few peers.”
Rothenberg will be embarking on a Holiday Season book tour of the East and West Coast that is scheduled to hit Los Angeles, San Diego, Philadelphia, and of course, New Jersey.
Rothenberg has been “workin’ on a dream” for a generation, and the faith that she’s shown in herself and her primary subject has finally been realized in a very special book that she’s tremendously proud to share with Springsteen fans around the globe.
“On weekends, I listened to Bruce and dreamed,” says Rothenberg. “I brought my camera everywhere. My life was breathing, photography and Bruce Springsteen. Nothing else mattered. Bruce’s music brought me to another world – another planet, actually. A place where I knew who I was and where I wanted to be. At the Jersey Shore. If you have a dream, follow it. Keep pushing to make it a reality. I am living proof that dreams do come true.”
