Photography
After months of ‘will it be in this issue?’, I’m finally in the Christmas issue of Record Collector magazine (with Led Zeppelin on the cover), in ‘The Collector’ article and it was worth the wait. For the first time I can remember they’ve gone from the usual two pages to three to accommodate the ‘Wall of Sound’ photograph Steve Cook took specially (full image above).
I’m so pleased with this and I get a chance to show off some prize pieces from my collection. Several items mentioned aren’t shown because of space but I’ll be posting some of them in the ‘Originals’ posts on this site all week.
Just found this picture of PC and I somewhere in the US on tour many moons ago. Love the way even back in the 90’s the shop was saying “we STILL sell vinyl”, wonder if it’s still there?
Last month’s best of, the Studio One picture is in the Bitte Club in Milan, Italy, the figures are made entirely out of screws, the collage images are from the same club. The ripped faces and figures are inside the Case á Chocs club, Neuchatel, Switzerland where I played with Neneh Cherry as is the ceiling typography. The Tiny World photo of South East London is taken from the top of Greenwich Park.
I’m always messing around with photography apps on my phone, whether on boring car, train or plane journeys or just capturing artwork I see on my travels. Here’s the best of last months snaps in the order they were taken. Top to bottom, left to right: Kid Koala at Music To Draw To – London, Eurostar window shot, Judge Dredd – Shoreditch, Cept – Village Underground – London, Zombies vs Robots vs Amazons x 2 – Hoxton flyover – London, The Shard – London Bridge, on the way to Gatwick, aircraft window – Gatwick, street scene – Montpelier, spiral staircase – Rockstore backstage – Montpelier, Off World T-shirt – mine, train interior double exposure – Luton, tower block – Elephant & Castle, London.
