Genuinely surprised by the lack of love for Tom Sheehan's book - he's one of a handful of people who defined how an era of music looked, if you grew up reading the music press then you saw his stuff all the time. I dont think his book is a massive money spinner, its a limited run on one small part of his portfolio.
Always nice to see TH14 in his prime though!
Whats the new book, is there a link to details somewhere?
I know being an artist is tough. I have friends who work as music photographers and I know they really get paid s**t for how much it costs them to do the work they do-if they get paid at all. There are *verry* few who can make a living as a photographer. So I hope people do respect that artists have the right to get paid for their work. Just like Robert Smith was very insistent that people should pay *something* for a professionally produced album because it says the artist's work has worth, I cannot fault a photographer for asking for people to pay money for their packaged work. Just like I would not support a bootlegger using a professional's photo without their permission/compensation. You want to steal my crap amateur photo-go ahead...apples and oranges. I truly believe.
