He's out with a new book. It's called Rock and Soul Portraits by Barry Morgenstein.

In it, he shares his notsotraditional training in photography and how he was front row, capturing major moments of music history and his most incredible work.

I want everybody to know that in addition to Barry's amazing portraits of all these super famous people, he's done my headshots since I was a young cub reporter at Fox News... It's absolutely beautiful and it's cool looking. I'm holding it up now for the audience to see. Rock and Soul. It's got some of the greats on the front.

I think this could do one of two things. It's a beautiful book, $59 today on Amazon, a great coffee table book for Christmas, Hanukkah, any holiday, a lovely option for people to thumb through while sitting on the couch.

If they want a signed copy, then they go to my website too, which is barrymorgenstein.com.
