What a sad news! Ed was a long time employee and worked with us on many projects.
He was one of the nicest people in the Elvis world. He will be very deeply missed.
Here the news from one of the biggest German magazines:

As we reported yesterday, Elvis photographer Ed Bonja is in Berlin to set up his exhibition "Elvis! Elvis Who?" which will open its doors February 17, 2011 at 7 P.M.

In the meantime the "Berlinale" takes places and a lot of events are attended by worldwide-known celebrities. The VIPs who attended the "Cinema For Peace" event brought in personal items which were auctioned to help the victims of the Haiti 2010 earthquake. Ed Bonja was also on the guest list and donated one of his giclées and an original backstage pass from the 1970's for the Elvis Presley show.

During this event former astronaut and crew-member of Apollo 11, Buzz Aldrin, held a speech. Star photographer Jim Rakete took his chance to get Ed Bonja and the married couple Aldrin in front of his lense and took a snapshot!

A selection of the worldwide known Elvis-shots of Ed Bonja (Praytome Publishing) are presented in co-operation with photographer Peter Badge (Typos1 / "Nobel-Faces") in Berlin at the nhb Studios.
