Bring Yr Camera

Bring Yr Camera is an album by American keyboardist and composer Wayne Horvitz's band the President. It was recorded in 1988 and released on the Elektra/Musician label. Horvitz considered the President to be his attempt at a blues group.

Critical reception

The New York Times wrote that "Horvitz's pieces dip into blues and slide-guitar rock a la Little Feat, along with mock-minimalist repetition, tinges of gamelan or Latin or Japanese music, and whatever else pops into mind."

The AllMusic review by Brian Olewnick stated: "Bring Yr Camera is an enjoyable disc and very much of its time, but one can't help but think of some degree of wasted potential".
