Somewhere Here On Earth (for Nikki), 2012
OK, so I’ve deviated from my own (unwritten) rules regarding titling my photographs with this one. The title is taken from a Prince album I own (Planet Earth) – but have never played, so have no idea what the song sounds like. I took against this album because it was given away with a frightful tabloid newspaper. It’s tainted. I’ll probably never play it – I should sell it on Ebay really.
Nikki just said to me, “I hope you’re going to stop this Prince thing soon.” And I think she’s got a point. If I get much closer to the bottom of the barrel, I’m going to compromise the pictures or the people represented in them, and I don’t want to do that. So I’m looking for another recording artist whose back catalogue I can plunder. Any suggestions welcome!
