Graham Nash's best photo: Joni Mitchell through a chair in 1969

[rkm]

I love the stillness and concentration in this image. It makes me want to search out photos of people in meditative moments.

It was Graham Nash and his self-portrait on the cover of his "Songs for Beginners" album that made me really want to be a photographer. To this day, over forty-odd years later, I still take mirror and window self-portraits whenever the opportunity presents itself. Notice my avatar over to the left. I am also a fan of his music.

And I am a huge Joni Mitchell fan...

That house in Laurel Canyon better known as "Our House" -- you know, very very very fine, with a couple of cats, lit fire, flowers in vase, etc.

Thanks for posting this. Graham Nash and the Hollies was one of my first single albums many, many years ago.

Joni and Graham are first class honest artists, i have a lot of respect for integrity and they both have that.

That is very cool. Your post caused me to go get my copy of the album Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. I'm looking at the vinyl right now and the song "Our House" by Graham Nash is on it. I see also that "Woodstock" by Joni Mitchell is on it, too. Hmmm, I think I'll go to my record player and play the album now...

Thanks for posting the image.

Yes he's a good Manchester lad. Hope he was born into a red family.

Guessing he used an SLR for that shot.

Can't help wondering how well this pic would be accepted if the photographer and subject weren't famous.

Exactly my thoughts!

But then again, none of the comments were about the photo so I guess nobody's a fool.

He did say the sound disturbed her, so it probably had mirror clatter.

Wouldn't mind knowing what he used, mind.

I showed this photo to my nephew's girlfriend (about 25). Her response. Who's Graham Nash? Who's Joni Mitchell?

Red?

There are two teams in the city, one side is red and the other blue.

He founded Musicians United, not sure if they play in Red..

I'm looking at the cover of Song's for Beginners right now, in Google image search, and trying to work out what that camera is that he's holding. Hard to say... any guesses?

I wonder... Nikkormat?
