Photos of CBGB In Transition

In February 2008 Raymond shot some beautiful and haunting photos of the shell the legendary New York rock club CBGB & OMFUG as it was in the process of being converted into a John Varvatos clothing boutique.

Two years ago CBGB closed down for good in October 2006 and in February 2007 I stopped by and shot some photos of the ghost of CBGB & OMFUG. Sadly CBGB founder Hilly Kristal passed away in August 2007.

MTV News has more on the transition of CBGB.
