Portraits while listening to Nick Drake

I hope some of you will be as interested as I was to read about the project to take photos of people listening to a long-lost Nick Drake arrangement for the first time.

Fascinating story and remarkable project. Thanks for sharing.

Ironically, the same copyright concerns that keep the Nick Drake track out of distribution also mean we only get stamp-sized versions of most of the photos.

While I like Nick Drake and I like photography, I just can't get into these type of projects.

I just liked the story, from the discarded tape in a skip to the comment from the lad on the railway platform. Conceptual art, I guess, rather than exceptional photographic talent.

That's a fascinating project.
I had no idea who Nick Drake was.
