I hope the org will ask that people not publish photos from the book, just as you rigidly insisted that no excerpts be published from M1's book. It's not fair to folks who have not yet received their copies. Nor is it fair to the authors. | |

Sorry, but I did not rigidly insist the no excerpts be published from M1's book. That was a different moderator.
These photos though are out on the web. By Afshin Shahidi. I did not scan these from my book. Afshin has posted a few of these on the Huffington Post and FB
as well as lemoncrush19 Post Ur Prince Pictures Part 13 thread

When I said, "you," I didn't mean you personally. I meant the collective you, meaning the Org as a website. In fact, it would be nice if a copyright infringement disclaimer would be placed on the OP of all of the book discussion threads, just as it was done for M1's book. Just a thought... | |

Continued inclusion? There are other photos by Randee here? Well I'm replying to rogifan's post of a book of photos from 2007-2011. The question stumped me until I remembered that we got a book of photos by who I assume was the main photographer at the time, Randee. This is not a presentation of including Randees 21 Nights photos.
So I wonder if Prince just wanted to work with a variety of photographers or if it was more about who was available when or could travel with him? I am curious how many other photos Afshin has that Prince approved of. I wonder if there would be enough to do a second book? Paisley Park is in your heart

Afshin has said that he has thousands of images and, to answer your question, he says that, depending on the success of this book, he might publish another book of "B-sides." I would definitely like to see more. | |

yeah, he has had a lot of different photographers in the 90s and 2000s. It could be just about availability. Afshin took a lot of photos in the 2009 period too, the ones where Prince looked almost alien. So manybe he just focused on Randee for the 02 resident shows.
I suspect he has 100s more, since we have so many that were already released prior to Prince's passing. | |

For a time, Afshin was the only photographer Prince allowed to photograph him. | |

I would definitely like to see more. I would too. I think he also said the photos in this book were ones that Prince had seen and approved of. If he has more of those I’d love to see them.

This photo is not in the book, but Afshin Shahidi must have taken it, because there are other angle photos of the ladies in the book. This might have been from an aftershow party.

In the handful of interviews I’ve done, I’ve been asked what my favorite picture from the book is. It’s difficult to choose one but these test prints for my gallery shows are three of my favorites.

Good radio interview. Afshin did a nice job on being above the fray about Manuela and on his mature description of the complicated nature of romantic relationships.

I think he just established he and Manuela are friends and for him that is part of Prince he knew at the time. I would wonder what Afshin felt about all the Tamar drama - he was around for that- he did not provide that- those bad times were part of Prince's life too. See. people no matter how nice we are all the same. We all have that seedy underbelly- for me I would not have any of his romantic women in the book NONE especially one he divorced and locked out the house and tore it down but hey . . . THAT was part of his life too. Just saying. | |

I didn't like the photos of M2 either...but P married her. Like it or not, that places her, along with M1, in a unique class among Prince's women. Also, remember, he worked with Prince for over 20 years, meaning he was there during both marriages; however, during the M1 years, he was a cinematographer, not a still photographer. | |

The photos are undeniably beautiful; they just invoke unpleasant memories for many in the Purple Family. I guess Vashtix raised the question of Tamar because she and Prince worked so closely during the 3121 era. | |

When you say, "Prince took up with Tamar," are you suggesting something other than a working relationship between the two? Tamar denies those rumors, saying that Prince was like "an uncle" to her. | |

I was not insinuating that when I mentioned Tamar. I felt he was like an U cle to her. I never bought into the Tamar/Prince affair. | |

I think bulldizung a house and dropping the bricks and mortar from that house to your ex sways toward not a good time. . Again, the book is wonderful.I hope there are more books from him.

Speaking of the razed house, I wonder if Afshin has any high resolution full frontal shots of the exterior of Prince's purple house. I would love to see one or more of those. | |

Tamar breaks down when talking about a gift Prince gave her (around Christmas). Sounds touchy feely to me (even if there might not have been a touch involved). This is also the interview where she says he was like an uncle to her. Kind of weird to say that about someone you had an intimate relationship with. :-| http://people.com/celebri...-memories/ Paisley Park is in your heart

Prince held Stevie Wonder's hand--was he fucking him as well? Yes, Prince was not naturally touchy feely but he might have made exceptions. Jill's cool but she also hasn't been much in the picture for the last 30 yearss. If I recall, you believe a lot of what Cat Glover says, correct? Cat says that P and her didn't engage in any hanky panky whilst they were working together (I am not talking about later) ... Well this picture proves (according to your theory) that Cat must have been lying and P was having three ways during the SOTT/Lovesexy tours... Well, see what I am doing here. I am questioning the fact that certain folk's words are taken as gospel. I do think though that song Fury might be prince addressing Manuela's accusations that he and Tamar were hooking up and Prince is trying to convince her that that wasn't the case. I say this because I believe Tamar was called to testify during the divorce. A wife being suspicious of Prince isn't hard to believe but that still doesn't mean she was correct. Tamar and Prince are the only ones who know for sure what happened..
You are going to have a field day with this one... (I am sure the twins, who also denied involvement with P, wouldn't appreciate the assumptions however.
