No Such Thing as Overexposure |

 Let me tell you what I know about Joe Stevens.
He's got the candor and the lost consonants of a New Yorker. And, well, he is one. He saunters a bit. He's direct, refreshingly open and probably carries a huge heart in that chest of his.
He's been able, through many years now, to lull performers into comfort that shines through the camera. His prints stick with you long after you look at them because of their earnestness. |

To pin him down, I had to find him in person. The day after Thanksgiving, my kid and I were strolling to Caffe Kilim and finally found Stevens sitting on a bench out front.
White-haired, sharp-eyed, wearing a black cap and dark clothes, he sat with nimble fingers clutching a coffee cup and yakked with the other patrons. He looked like a character, but not the kind that stands out. |

Joe Stevens rocks: Every picture tells a story |
|
Written by Michael Keating

 “Sometimes the stories are better than the pictures,” says photographer Joe Stevens with a characteristic laugh, a melding of his old Brooklyn swagger and British punk attitude.
Whether through a camera lens or with words, Stevens, 67, a native New Yawkeh and long-time resident of Portsmouth by way of London, is a story-teller at heart. Catch up with him nearly any morning at his favorite haunt in this city by the sea, Caffé Kilim on Daniel Street, and he’ll happily regale you with stories of rock ‘n’ roll history — from free love in the fields at Woodstock, to the arraignment on murder charges of his old friend Sid Vicious, the sadly impressionable young bassist for the Sex Pistols. |
