[Leica] IMG: "I get the locomotive blues, but I feel All Right" by Wilko Johnson

[topoxforddoc at btinternet.com (Charlie Chan)]

In the early 1970s, the British music scene changed with the advent of punk. 
The bridge to punk came from the British Pub Rock scene, led by Dr Feelgood 
from Canvey Island. Their iconic guitarist, Wilko Johnson, was watched by 
the Sex Pistols and the Clash, who admired his unique chopping style.

After a long career in 2009, he finally started to receive proper 
recognition for his playing. Sadly he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 
in January. He spurned chemotherapy and decide to carry on playing to his 
fans for as long as possible. His outlook on life changed dramatically and 
he has been applauded for his honesty in his interviews on the BBC and 
various national newspapers.

I went to his home on wednesday to photograph him for my "In the Frame" 
series. I spent an hour talking with him and five minutes on the shoot. 
Rankin had been earlier this year; it took all morning to set up the strobes 
and backdrops alone.

I will be sending some prints to him for his two sons and his best friend, 
Norman Watt-Roy, the bass player.

Thanks for looking. This was shot on my DMR and 50 cron
