Belated R.I.P



Johnny Ramone (1948-2004)

Comments

I loved this guy. Sort of.
Nice images here. Thanks.

Johnny was a hard guy to love, but his guitar playing launched a 1000 bands. After all these deaths, Tommy must feel like he's got a target painted on his back.

Trivia: I took those photos at the Whisky in Hollywood using a Yaschica 35mm SLR loaded with Kodak Tri-X film pushed to 1600 ASA so I wouldn't have to use a flash, thus the grainy, contrasty look.

And if anyone from the original Blondie dies, I'm all set.

I know what you mean by "Johnny was a hard guy to love". But to me he just was one of the Ramones line-up. And one cool guy on stage. And one fast guitarist!

I never realized those great pics were creations of your your own skill and cam!
Really cool!

Yeah, I really should give myself a photo credit...:-)
