What do I see when I look at Debbie's photos? Humanity. She photographs an eclectic colorful mix of people and subject matter without prejudice. Her photographs have helped inspire me and reignite the fire for me to get out and shoot and shoot some more. Her photos are mere snippets of reality - she isn't as concerned with slick n' fancy shots as she is with catching and documenting life as she sees it before her eyes and through her lens. Looking through Debbie's photo stream, I feel as if I took a nice long stroll through New York City on a warm Summer day. Thank you Debbie for sharing your photos and your love of photography!

I love your photos of musicians, and I have a special affinity for your work at Gogol Bordello events. I hope Eugene has gotten a chance to see your set of the band. He's so photogenic and so is the whole band, however it takes a pro like you with the chops, talent and passion for the subject to develop a body of wor… Read more

I love your photos of musicians, and I have a special affinity for your work at Gogol Bordello events. I hope Eugene has gotten a chance to see your set of the band. He's so photogenic and so is the whole band, however it takes a pro like you with the chops, talent and passion for the subject to develop a body of work this full of narrative, excitement and vitality. Congrats on your work and thanks for sharing it here at flickr.

That's a lot of photos, good no doubt, but if I start going thru my boxes of photos I'll be there till I die. If I was looking for a specific photo I would use this reference. Everyone's entitled to their own tastes in music. I loved the music at CBGB. I love the new pop and rap out today and I'm 60. Maybe it's… Read more

That's a lot of photos, good no doubt, but if I start going thru my boxes of photos I'll be there till I die. If I was looking for a specific photo I would use this reference. Everyone's entitled to their own tastes in music. I loved the music at CBGB. I love the new pop and rap out today and I'm 60. Maybe it's because I grew up in Motown. I say every style will have something good. You can't close your mind off. Otherwise you'll just become some old grandparent that only does things the way they used to 50yrs ago. I lose a little respect for anyone that closes their mind off to new music coming out. That's not a healthy way to live. Keep moving forward and creative. peace everybody!

Rock attitude is deep deep inside of Deb. the photos represent a part of her real life. She once lived in this earth, but depart to somewhere in the universe, Mars maybe? so glad that she can still using internet over there, and now i can view her amazing works again since Flickr let her stuff expose here in Hong Kon… Read more

She once lived in this earth, but depart to somewhere in the universe, Mars maybe? so glad that she can still using internet over there, and now i can view her amazing works again since Flickr let her stuff expose here in Hong Kong. Thank you Debbie.

Debbie C.B. _ Your Photography is merely a reflection of you, and your life, but most of all a rememberance of the beautiful spirit that you are. You are a sensitive, complex human, honest, laughable, spontaneous, idealistic, sexual, artistic, musical, danceable, wonderful human being.. But you really excel in your comments, your journalism, so candid and refreshing, and laughable. You restore my faith in humanity, and give me the strength and hope and love to keep going when I see so much evil in the world, and you remind me of your wonderful life full of the wonderful people that surround you. You should think hard about preserving your comments in a book. It might knock Howard Sterns' Private Parts off the shelf. ! A best seller for you, and a lasting tribute to a great human being, YOU ! You are a force onto yourself and the World ! Your brother by choice - BOBSEEBOB.....

OMG!!!.....these pics are awesome!!!...History of a scene I always admired but only got the West Coast (SF) version. The SF scene was just coming alive then and I was friends of the Tubes in all there glam and semi pre punk glory having met them in Japan. I joined Peace Corps went far away and missed out on all this. Now I can see what I missed from a participant. The only glimpse I had was seeing Iggy and Reed at a seedy club in SF. Thanks, Debbie, for making it real. Rob

yes, it's true that real artists can see bravely through the daily routine, lou reed comes to mind, to provoke the eye and mind into seeing through to various truths and the more important verities; seems to me there is a novel, "I Am A Camera", that takes us on a journey, in Debbie's idea, new york city and gives us… Read more

yes, it's true that real artists can see bravely through the daily routine, lou reed comes to mind, to provoke the eye and mind into seeing through to various truths and the more important verities; seems to me there is a novel, "I Am A Camera", that takes us on a journey, in Debbie's idea, new york city and gives us candid glimpses and new perspectives into certain recent milieus, now, NYC like a zen-arrow straight into the center of the lens and sometimes, oh my, with humor...

Not only rock photographesse and CBGBs documenter par excellence but also foreign correspondent for a well-known Scottish Ramones weblication, Debbie's Flickr stream is a constant and consistent source of entertainment. Plus, having spent 20 years of my youth as a vegetarian, I can very much appreciate her vegan food pics, as should you.

Using the camera as her eye, Debbie takes us by our hands and together we walk down the streets of New York City. She is not showing us places we know from the glossy magazines, she shows us her city, her neigbourhood, her life and let us be part of it. I really love her street photography.

Using the camera as her eye, Debbie takes us by our hands and together we walk down the streets of New York City. She is not showing us places we know from the glossy magazines, she shows us her city, her neigbourhood, her life and let us be part of it. I really love her street photography. I never have the impression it's her camera taking these pictures. These pictures are taken with her heart and soul by blinking her eyes - and somehow, I'd die for to know how, she makes these transient and unvoyeuresque moments visible here in flickr. She is a rock'n'roll star with a camera and an unpretentious attitude. Thank you, Deborah!

I first noticed Debbie CB's images... her excellent street work: catching all those fabulous ordinary moments, NYC scenes and expressive gestures; her hilarious, raunchy and outrageous "barbie funnies"; an excellent Chef, her images of her mouthwatering vegan cookery gave me so many good ideas; her images of the … Read more

I first noticed Debbie CB's images... her excellent street work: catching all those fabulous ordinary moments, NYC scenes and expressive gestures; her hilarious, raunchy and outrageous "barbie funnies"; an excellent Chef, her images of her mouthwatering vegan cookery gave me so many good ideas; her images of the NYC music scene done by the insider she has always been gave me a window into a world I had only read about. She is, I have found in flickr watching for some time now: Kind, Considerate, Outspoken and Political, Insightful and sharp eyed, hot and nasty when she wants to be, and someone who suffers no fools gladly but gives of herself generously. Recently, I've learned she's also a walking encyclopedia of what really happened in the East Village New York Rock Scene, a legendary music maven with terrific timing and taste who has rubbed elbows with the music gods, and a mighty fine journalist besides with priceless backstory access... (others talked it, she lived it). Man... what those sweet eyes have seen!! Get her going about ANYTHING and she will knock your socks off. Deb is a flickr treasure and i am honored to be a contact of hers. Rock on, Deb!

Debbie's photos are an amazing kaleidoscope of moments in her life seen through the eye of her camera.

Debbie's photos are most remarkable! I especially enjoy her entertainment photos of musicians of the past and present.

It is enjoyable to witness a woman with so many talents and expertise!

This is going to sound like trumpets blowing and that is not Debbie's style. Yes she is in your face but only by being in the face of what she sees. She is always seeing, not trying to be seen. No hufferpuff inflated ego here, just a big heart and no holds barred. THEREFORE...if anybody wants to figure out our so-ca… Read more

This is going to sound like trumpets blowing and that is not Debbie's style. Yes she is in your face but only by being in the face of what she sees. She is always seeing, not trying to be seen. No hufferpuff inflated ego here, just a big heart and no holds barred. THEREFORE...if anybody wants to figure out our so-called civilization a millenium hence, let them start with Debbie C.B.'s NYC. Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going? She's a Rembrandt, an old master, i.e. has the kind of humble + magnificent vision that rises to the occasion, where nothing is too high or low. She's an artist. Q.E.D.

Debbie!!!, Without any doubt, one of the best street photographers on flickr, the characters that she photographs are the essence of NYC, and only a person that knows the city can show it to you that deeply. Her Blondie set is priceless! Still shoot with film and go on posting pleaseee!!! One of my best contacts … Read more

Debbie C.B.’s Photographs are visual documents of NYC, like the poetry of Walt Whitman, Allen Ginsberg & the tails of the road by Jack Kerouac.

Debbie C.B.’s Photographs are visual documents of NYC, like the poetry of Walt Whitman, Allen Ginsberg & the tails of the road by Jack Kerouac. Her photographic chronicles take the viewers on a trip across time, to places like CBGB’s, Otto’s, Coney Island. She brings the viewers back from the past to the present, with images of current NYC. She even gives a glimpse into her personal world with intimate photographs of friends & family, these are just more than mere snap shots. Her images are imprints of energy, her energy, as much as the subjects who’s story she’s bringing to the world community. She shows us majesty & beauty, where others might simply see ugliness or a crumbling society. Her photographs transcend the shallow thin veneer, of daily life that most eyes are accustomed to seeing. These are a living document forever preserved on film, like the photographers Paul Rosenfeld & Stieglitz here photographs are documents of place… that reaffirm life in all it’s infinite frequencies.
