A propos nothing in particular, I notice that the cover of Graham Nash's new autobiography, Wild Tales, has a cover photo he took of himself (in a mirror, obviously) with a Leicaflex SL.

He's been a very keen photographer for a long while. Not bad at all, from what I see.

Wow. We've all lost negs at some time. Very few of us spend $100,000 on a printer.

How about the first thing you do with your new $100,000 printer is to modify it in a way that voids the warranty? BTW, that printer is now in the Smithsonian.
Check out his website for the digital printing business.

If you are a Graham Nash fan of both his music and his photography, try and score a copy of his book "Eye to Eye". The background he provides on his life in the introduction is great stuff. I tend to get my copy out from time to time for inspiration or just to re-live the late 60's and early 70's.

...and he was very into the "mirror selfie" as an art form ;-)

I think he was very often stuck in a hotel room & bored.

I love that story of how he won $2,000 betting $100 on War Emblem at the Kentucky Derby!!
I also loved the image shot when they were making the album Deja Vu, particularly as I own (and still have) that album.
Thanks for the link.

Born and lived for a while two miles down the road from me in Poulton although his bio always says Blackpool.
Sorry ...useless info 🙂

Poulton, was it? One of my favourite lighting designers (I taught him), Chris Pritchard, came from Poulton-le-Fylde.
And, though I'm not a fan of CNSY particularly, I do love The Hollies.

"Wild Tales" was also the name of one of his solo albums from the early 1970s. I think his second or third and I recall it was excellent. Worth a download.

IIRC, his first solo album cover was a selphie, though I can't recall the camera he used. My copy went in the big auction I had to keep afloat at one point in my life.

Note: Just remembered I had a CD (Songs For Beginners), and it was a Nikon F (plain prism) or Nikkormat. Kind of hard to tell from the grainy reproduction.

Can`t remember where I read that now ... just checked and all the bio references say Blackpool.
The family were evacuated to the coast during the war and moved back home to Salford sometime later.

Most people wouldn't have the first clue of the difference between Blackpool and Poulton. Especially biographers.

"In an upstairs room in Blackpool
By the side of a northern sea
The army had my father
And my mother was having me"
Military Madness from Graham Nash's first solo album Songs for Beginners. I still have my vinyl copy purchased early in the summer of 1971. And I have a digital version downloaded to my iPhone and still listen to it often while my vinyl rig is waiting to be set up after our move to a condo last June.
Edit: And my avatar photo taken back in 1973 was inspired by that cover photo on Songs for Beginners

My apologies ... I`ve remembered .
It was Andy Summers that was born in Poulton. 😱
That rules me out of the pop quiz team.

He was in Scotland on Monday promoting his new book. I was at Harry Goodwin's funeral on that day and Graham, who was a long standing friend of Harry's, had a message read saying he was sorry for not being there.

Sorry to hear that Gary.

Who the hell is Andy Summers ?
One thing for sure is that the Hollies didn't break up 50 years ago because I saw them 'as complete' at the Villa Marina at TT time in the IOM in 1964 😀
