Chris Steele-Perkins - Blackpool, 1982

[despite what fans of photojournalist Martin Parr who passed away this past year may say)

Steele-Perkins had a more gentle and affectionate feel for his subjects not unlike someone who prolly introduced me to Chris’ work, contemporary photographer ‘Photieman’ and fellow alum from what was Leicester Polytechnic Fine Art Dept, my old friend artist/photographer Tom Wood

draftervoi says:

"I've confirmed the date, and the review from the Boston Globe tells us 

this was the late show. The review didn't think much of the early set, writing, 
"He seemed to be saving himself for the radio broadcast of his later show."
The adjectives and nouns weren't any better: cold and dispassionate, nihilism

 and pornography.
I happened to like that first LP quite a lot, 

and unfortunately missed seeing the band when they played 

San Francisco, so I'm happy to ignore the review."

Jim Carroll poet and singer friend of Patti Smith and the New York counter cultural 

scene died in 2009 of addiction related illnesses including Hep C at the age of 60. 

 another poet is gone.
