Were I a stickler for such things, then this post would have been written & published 4 weeks ago, as I had always intended to do a “6 months on” piece about the blog. However, as I tend to lurch from one chaotic incident to the next, my life is rarely ordered and lacks a certain amount of cohesion; so instead, here is a “7 months on” piece.
Rewind to early November 2014 and, following a rather rambling and hilarious conversation with the lovely Penelope from TMK, the idea of this blog was born. You all know the story by now; our intention was to celebrate and promote the photographs Steve had taken of Mick over the years……a way for the members of TMK to collectively archive the images and to encourage discussion and an appreciation of what are, I’m sure you will all agree, some truly iconic shots. Like this one…….

So now, it is my turn. And good grief, it is a hard task.
Mick was an incredibly photogenic creature and his close relationship with Steve meant that the two of them had lots of opportunity to experiment with styles and ideas, resulting is some fantastically evocative images. I remember the first time I saw the shots of Mick that accompanied that Zig Zag article back in 1982; stripped to the waist and looking wasted, the angst and hurt of his ‘situation’ apparently etched into ever fibre of his being, all streaked make-up and petulant pout; it was like witnessing someone going through a mini-meltdown.
