Professional photographers specializing in Rock Music Artists tend to live fairly fascinating and rewarding lives. No one better exemplifies this statement than Thomas Weschler. Based in Detroit Michigan, Thomas began his photography career at 15 years-old documenting the television broadcast of the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show from his living room. His body of work over the years since that evening captures the most compelling moments of the greatest artists ever to take the stage.
Thomas graciously responded to an email inquiry I sent asking if he had photos of Jimmy and he has sent us this beautiful shot of Jimmy from his performance with the RTB in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1977. Technically exemplary and emotionally powerful this shot captures Jimmy in his native habitat, the man, his microphone and a wash of red light. I urge anyone to visit Thomas' webpage to view dozens of amazing shots covering decades of legendary rock performances as well as a great video interview where Thomas outlines his truly blessed career.
For the collector, you can purchase high quality prints from his webpage as well. Thanks Thomas!
