About Me |
|
| Ami Barwell is the subject. She is the portrait of our vulnerable flash.
She is delicate and subtle, just faintly kissing us, individually, with her
ethereal approach to an inside world of sorry fatalists.
Some refuse to acknowledge photography as one of the fine arts.
Some dismiss Rock & Roll as noise pollution for hopeless underachievers.
Fair enough.
When idealistic dreamers meet nihilistic, narcicists... are there other
facets? God forgive me, I was under the impression that the counterculture was winning. Fact is, there's just not enough time. I've seen plenty of rock photos. What's behind that glance, young juggernaut? Can the lens reveal before you unravel?... tick tock. When the wilds roll up under your hide-out, they may take over the settlement... kick down the door of your necessary function and black down your sheets with hard belts of madness. To introduce a glorious example of creative genius at work... meet Ami Barwell. Ami is my angel, exploring the interiors so sweetly that I fall in love with every encounter, without failure. She photographs me while I struggle with my natural, creeping nervousness. She's the only artist that I've ever met to sincerely recognize the contemplative moments of a nobody, with a messianic complex, and capture that complexity, isolating its innocence. Ami, you make me feel like a beautiful person. Your photographs tell the truth, which, in my opinion, makes you the most important music photographer in the world, not to mention an extremely unique individual that I humbly respect and admire. To those who have yet to have a session with Ami Barwell, when you do (if you do) consider it an honor, she's truly a pleasure to work with and a brilliant talent. For what it's worth, she's the only one I trust behind the lens. Keep on Ami, you're amazing; a bright star shining darkly. -Bobby Harlow The GO |
