'Hey Frankie - this is Bruce. How about we get together and do some photographs?' Frank Stefanko is the photographer who has been taking pictures of Bruce Springsteen for 45 years. In February 1978, his world was about to change with one phone call. His work features on Darkness on the Edge of Town, The River and the biography - Born to Run. But how did Frank's journey in photography and music begin? In this episode Jeff talks to Frank about how he found a Box camera in the family home at the age of just 7, and this led on to him following his passion for photography and music. We talk about his college days in New Jersey with Patti Smith, his early music memories, THAT Main Point gig in 1975, the Darkness shoot, The Great British Bake-Off and much much more! We also talk about his iconic heavyweight book - Further Up The Road - which documents his photographic career with the Boss.  To keep up to date with all our news follow us on Facebook groups/547987037245963 and Instagram @estreetcafepodcast We would love it if you left us a nice review or 5 star rating if you've enjoyed listening to the podcast.
