Rickster's Cafe Con Funk (A Tribute to Ricky Powell)
This show is dedicated to my old friend Ricky Powell who passed away Feb. 1st 2021. Ricky is a legendary photographer who captured so many rising stars during hip hop's golden age. Specifically and perhaps his most iconic photographs are of the Beastie Boys and Run-DMC during their 1987 tour together. He has published a number of books featuring his photography, most notably and my personal favorite is "Public Access - Ricky Powell Photography 1985-2005"
I had the pleasure of meeting Ricky in 1997 and over the years we shared many good times. He was always quick with a joke, he was charming, he had style that was uniquely his own and while his memory lives on through his work, he will be missed greatly. Rest in peace brother.
