I feel the same way about Michael Jackson. He was an icon, as big or bigger than Elvis, and his album Bad was a major soundtrack of my childhood years.

Gotta respect him for the music/art he had created.

Same goes for producer Phil Spector – he’s a total nutcase, but the music he has produced is so full of soul and texture and tension and feeling.

I don’t really agree with the distinction you do between the tho kind of photographers. I would rather say that image taker take images, and image maker make images, it speaks by itself, image taker shoot what already exist, it’s more about documentary, being an image maker it’s more about creation and style, we create something out of “nothing”.

But even though it touch me less, a documentary image can also be a masterpiece in itself with load of emotions while a fashion built photograph can be cold and empty.

It’s maybe what you said but I did’t get it this way Wanted to share my vision too.

A real good insight into the realm of creativity. I always like finding out how people look upon their own creative process and Michael Jackson was one of the greatest in his field. Thanks for the inspiration.

Well said! I too watched the interview last night (uk) listening to what he had to say was inspiring. I don’t have the most expensive cameras or equipment but what I do have is my creativity. Only over the last few months have I truly started to shoot what I want and the results are starting to show ))

Nice interesting post:)

I love the closing bit about image takers vs makers. So very true.

Great read

Great post. Basically I think I get the gist of where you are coming from. Michael had the “feeling” behind the music and for him it wasn’t about making as much as he could or getting as much money as he could – although of course he made plenty of money. It was about letting the music take him, and what you are saying is that you have to let the photography take you as well.

Feel the shot, feel the music, don’t force it, if you have to it just doesn’t come off the way it is supposed to… just my humble opinion.

I also never owned a single Michael Jackson track but I loved Thriller and I will always always remember the Moonwalk!

I’m so impressed and pleased you featured this paticular issue that has had a great impact on many of us, particularly those who grew up at the same time as Michael. Michael was a fantasticly creative and amazing talent. We owe so much to what he brought to us. I will miss his presence; his willingness to point out the wrongs of the world; he was misunderstood and wronged. I hope he is happy now.
