Artist's Comments

...or Sunday Morning Comin' Down.

The legendary bluesman Bar-king Nick Parker. Shot near the end of an all night session...

"I'd smoked my brain the night before,
On cigarettes and songs I'd been pickin'."

He plays like the shotgun pipes on his Harley. Loud and straight thru'!

This was the only surviving shot from a light leaked roll that some silly bastard forgot to rewind before opening the camera. Don't ask, ...and probably the reason why I was sitting on the floor too! There's more in my blog over at uber.

Why the title? Nick usually swings a Telecaster but is playing my beat up acoustic that is no stranger to the Australian Outback. Then again, neither is he.

Leica MP and 50 'lux asph
Tri-X +3 in Xtol
Negative scanned and corrected in The Gimp
slight vignette/burn on the left
no cropping or other shit

Heheh, an up nose portrait of someone going fuck, fuck, fuck and fumbling to replace it in a hurry!

Funny you should mention that. He's no stranger to the Texas Blues, but more the Johnny Winter type, and he used to have beard that got tangled in the guitar strings!

...and the only bloke without a beard in ZZ Top is named Beard. How weird is that!

What was the blues players epitaph. "Didn't wake up this morning!"

Thanks Al!
