Hi,
Photography, has helped to encapsulate, immortalise icons from many fields of work. for instance, the image of a bare chested Jim Morrison, Einstein sticking his tounge out and Marilyn Monroe In her white dress whilst standing over the air vent. regarding this, i wondered what you would consider as princes one true photographic representaion. the one picture that encapsulates all that prince and his work represents. Does such an image exist? if not why not?

For me i would opt for the Dirty Mind album cover.

Good question,Probably the buttout pants pick from the MTV music awards.It captures such a long period of his carrer.

It would definately be a picture of Prince in the Purple Rain coat.

The pic from the beginig of Purple Rain when he is doing the Lets Go Crazy being backlit by the light, with hands in the crowd making the "one" and "devil" signs with Prince leaned over his geetar. Similar to DMSR's avatar. The used this to advertise the PR tour in nespapers.

Yes, a picture of Prince in the Purple Rain coat playing guitar is already an immortalized image, and still appears in Prince-related articles from time to time. It may not represent his work 100%, but I think that period of his career is when everyone took notice of him.

People took notice of another part of him on the MTV awards in the yellow get-up... but I don't think that represents everything that he can do...


And you gave Star Trek: Nemesis a B-, lovemachine??? Good gawd, I was so dissapointed. I give it a D-, just because I've followed Star Trek for so long and can't give it a failing grade. But I'm off-topic...

I didn't think it was that bad. My friend said he would give it a c- so maybe I'm in the minority here. He said that he thought the only movie worse out of the ten was the first one.
