I love these for many reasons, some emotional due to my connections to them, but some from the perspective of a photographer. Because I'm such a goddamned perfectionist I have to constantly battle against a tendency to follow the "rules". I hate rules, especially in any form of art, so there is a shitstorm of tension there to feed on. But I love seeing photographs captured with a complete and utter disregard of the "rules" of photography, so much so that there is a palpable aesthetic innocence and freedom that emanates from them. They are a perfect antidote to my agonizingly nurtured and wrought works. Beautifully done, Richard.
Bob, That's about the nicest thing anyone has said about my pictures. I knew you'd get it. I hadnt looked at this in at least 3-4 years, and I still like 'em. Thank You, brother.
These posts are made in order to help promote artists that I love and believe in and to hopefully twist yr spindly little bird arm into buying their stuff. Generally speaking the artists that I tend to like are not wealthy and do not usually refer to their home (or tour van as the case may be) as a "crib". So with this in mind please give them your hard earned money. They deserve it or I would not bother letting you know about them. Songs are up for a limited time and once gone they are gone. Got the rights to a file and want it removed? Give me a holler.
