I was honored today. Jill Furmanovsky- one of rock’s most accomplished photographers and an old friend, came to take my photograph. Jill has photographed many of the biggest names in rock music, including: Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Mike Oldfield, Bob Marley, Eric Clapton, Blondie, The Police, The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Pretenders, and Oasis. You can see her work at www.rockarchive.com – well worth checking out. So, imagine my delight at being in such good company.
Actually, this is not the first time I’ve been honored in this way. The cover photograph of my book The Pool of Memory, The Autobiography of an Unwilling Intuitive (its at www.MichalLevin.com or Amazon) was taken by Jill in 1998. She really understands my approach, which is very complimentary to her work as she instinctively aims to capture her subjects’ energy on camera. She is a genius! Our session was quick, completely painless, and fun even though photographing me is difficult because the right hand side of my face is partially paralyzed, but Jill achieves marvels. I’ll post the result of the session for you to see.
