It's been ten years since I updated this blog! I guess I've been busy with teaching, running a magazine and organising conventions and haven't taken time for photography. However, as the magazine is about David Bowie, I have done a bit of gig photography with Bowie-related bands which led me to request a photo pass for a recent Billy Idol gig as I'm doing a piece about people who are influenced by Bowie. Truthfully, my main motivation was just to be in the pit and get some great photos of an artist I admire. Generation X, his early punk band, were my favourite band in my teens. I had a great time at the gig with my brothers and enjoyed being in the pit next to the stage. I'm pleased with the results.
Thus can be seen the special status of the photographic image: it is a message without code ... -Roland Barthes
