Letters from the Road – Kansas City
You could see the city from a long way off. It rose out of the cornfields like a hill of mirrors.

Nathan’s mother invited us for an early dinner at the house in Richmond, a beautiful suburb outside of London. I shot this one of Nathan proudly sporting the bottle of wine we’d picked up in town. That night, his mother told the story of how she’d bumped into Pete Townshend at the antique shop. “Hello, [...]

A few people have heard it so far. One of them said it reminded them of Simple Minds‘ “(Don’t You) Forget About Me.” [...]
