Lookit what I found, at long last! Turns out, it was in a box of DVDs at my old apartment that I finally, FINALLY moved all my stuff out of today. It's too late on a work night to watch it now, but maybe I'll give it a rewatch this weekend.
Photographing Jimmy Page and Jack White: Creating your own opportunities
Photographing Jimmy Page and Jack White: Creating your own opportunities
I met and photographed Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and Jack White of … well, all sorts of things. To do this, I had to make it happen. Here’s how I managed to do so.
It never hurts to ask
In 2009, my friend Christal Smith announced on Facebook, “So excited! I am going to be interviewing Jimmy Page and Jack White!” Excited, I mentioned this to my girlfriend. “I’d like to photograph them!”

My ★★★ review of It Might Get Loud on Letterboxd https://boxd.it/6kpYLp
"Thou shalt not put musicians and recording artists on ridiculous pedestals, no matter how great they are or were... Led Zeppelin are just a band" - Scroobius Pip
Not that this film's guilty of that, it's more the Youtube commenters and Letterboxd reviewers. But lord knows they don't need to be encouraged...
In the same way Guggenheim's 'An Inconvenient Truth' got me pumped about saving the environment whilst offering little to know advice on how to actually do that, 'It Might Get Loud' always has me reaching for my guitar, only to quickly realise I've no clue how to play like its 3 subjects.
Still it's nice to hear these guys talking about their passion. I just wish there'd be more back and forth, especially between White and the Edge since they seem to have such incompatible philosophies. This should be guitarist-Avengers, but feels more like 3 separate (albeit good) rock-docs stitched together.
the webcomic can have one (1) funny "earnest moment interrupted by comedy" joke. as a treat. but also because it is so in character for them ajkshdjkas
yes they will say the most earnest shit to each other and then immediately try to cringe out of their own bodies. they are best friends but they would rather jump out of a window before admitting it. they are incredibly devoted and grateful to one another but you could not water board that out of either of them.
the only thing that can get either of them to admit how much they care for each other is if the other is in life threatening danger and not a second before aakjshdks
i was completely, blissfully unaware that people on other social media sites were making up whole conspiracy theories about the emergency alert test today until i heard someone talking about it in class this morning. meanwhile on tumblr everyone is just like happy Loud Noise Wednesday to all who celebrate <3

[A sad violin song plays over an image of a sad hamster]
Pac: This doesn't have anything to do with me ��� I wear a blue sweatshirt, you're crazy, this mouse doesn't even have a sweatshirt, this hamster! [Reading chat] Am I a depressed hamster?
[ Transcript continued ↓ ]*
–
Pac: Actually– that's fine! I embrace that idea – of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy? [He hits his desk, then starts counting off people on his fingers] Fit is gone, Richarlyson is gone, Ramon is gone, Bagi and Empanada who were always there when we were there are also gone, I haven't seen them! It's just me and Tubbo, and sometimes Philza shows up.
Pac: I lost Chume Labs, I lost the Favela, I lost Murder Mystery, I lost Ilha Chume Labs, it's crazy! Look at how much I've lost, and I've gained nothing! Of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy?! How am I supposed to be happy?!
Pac: [Reading chat] "You have us Pac," that's true, thank you. No, that's true, sorry.
