Does anybody know who the geezer in the picture is.
They are usually Northern 'stars' from the 50s or 60s, but it's from a bootleg.
I cant find information about who it is, and it's starting to annoy me - he looks vaguely familiar.

You know - i thought that at first, except for the nose.
I don't think he'd be on a Smiths cover either :lol:
Im thinking the guy who played the photographer in Blowup at the moment.
I dont know  :-\

It does look a bit like him, but I'm not sure, either.

From the movie:

I love the old Hasselblad! I had several, very similar, until the company I worked with switched their stuff over to a more crappy, cheap production lab. I could no longer use a square format and I had to switch to six centimeters by four point five centimeter film size for my imaging. It sucked! The Hassy had a useable film back available, but a couple of complete cameras from Bronica were less expensive. At the time, my wife had just lost our third baby, so we had lots of hospital expenses to overcome.

:violin:

I sold all but one Hassy.
Yes, I drove a two thousand dollar car and carried twenty five thousand dollars worth of photography gear around in it. Well, that doesn't include light modifiers and flash equipment. Add another five thousand.

I thought of the Blow Up film, immediately after i first posted.
I was convinced it was David Hemmings.
Im not so sure now, don't worry we will get to the bottom of this matter.

K'mo is very pretty, then.

I'm not sure we can allow this. He must be exploited, if he is truly this pretty.

Anyhow, i haven't given up - will keep you informed.

Richard Burton has been suggested.
I dont think so really - but i will look into this.

Well this is marvelous work.
Terrence Stamp also appears on the official release "What difference does it make?"

(http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x28/kp600/Whatdifferencesmiths.gif)

he looks so much different in this pic, i never considered him.

I knew we would get there eventually.
Thank you Lucifer - im thinking of a prize i should give you. What do you suggest ?


I cant believe none of the morrissey forumites told me this, the swines; at least i can change my avatar now.

you know i got my chat banned from a poker site yesterday - for saying i would kill myself after i lost a $20 pot.

These Smiths fans, i think they might be a bit shy. They seem to be opening up more, now that i have told them it is Torrence Stamp.

Heh. Well, web communities tend to be pretty
tight. Takes a while to push one's way in, and
they get sick of all the fans with little to say.
