50th Anniversary Documentary Announcement

[Cat Milk Supreme]

It actually felt weird to read you man Chins name the first time. Real Live One maybe. I was thinkin "oooh, what happened to Halfin? Is something wrong?!" Weird levels of fandom, I suppose. Like, I found Derek Riggs book a hard read. I assumed that they were all friends and in it together. Halfin and Riggs were Maiden people to me, as much as Murray and Harris. Kinda hard to have your childhood dreams obliterated

It's all well and good, I'm pretty sure half of my impression is from Halfin himself admitting he can be a bit difficult sometimes. It's understandable in the sense that he's a professional doing a job and doesn't have time for bands being cute and fucking around, but at the same time he tends to forget that said bands existing is the only reason he has subjects to photograph in the first place.

Yah, totally. A friend of mine was a gig photographer for a while and he said he got full of himself, thought he was important. It's an easy trap to fall into. Especially if you're at a high (coke fuelled) level
