Brian Smith obituary

just heard about brian smith 📸 his photography is truly iconic, ya know? i mean, who wouldn't want to capture the essence of blues legends like howlin' wolf and chuck berry? 🤟‍♂️ his contributions to british blues go way beyond just takin' pics tho - he helped shape the genre and bring it to life for a whole new audience. and can we talk about how cool is that he was able to network his way into gettin' artist interviews and backstage passes? 💼 that's some serious photography skills right there!
 
Brian Smith's work is still so underrated 😒. I mean, think about it, he was basically one of the first people to document the blues movement in Britain, and his photos are way more than just pretty pictures – they're like a window into the past 🌃. And yeah, he was able to use his connections to get some amazing shots, but that's still not even comparing to how important his work is for music history. I wish more people knew about him before it was too late 🕰️. His legacy lives on through his books and the institutions that house his photos, so at least that's a good thing 💡.
 
I'm not exactly sure why everyone's making such a big deal about this photographer guy, Brian Smith, leaving his mark on British blues. I mean, 82 is old, even for someone who lived through the good ol' days of skiffle and blues. And yeah, he took some cool pics of famous musicians, but so did like, every other music journalist from that era. His connection to the genre doesn't seem that unique to me... 🤔
 
man... 82 is old but the man left us with so much awesome pics of blues legends 📸🎸 he was around when british blues was still kinda underground and he captured some amazing moments from the 60s onwards 🕰️ his photography skills were insane and he worked with some big names like howlin' wolf and chuck berry 🤘 it's crazy to think about all the album sleeves, magazine covers and cds that featured his shots 📺 he also wrote a book about american rhythm & blues in england which is super cool 📚 i mean we're still learning from him even after he passed away 💔
 
so he was 82 yrs old when he passed away 🤔 and he had this huge collection of photos from the blues era which is crazy because we are talking about howlin wolf and chuck berry here 🎸🐺... i mean its like a timeline of american blues in england right? so his work is still being used on albums and CDs and stuff, but what happened to all these interviews he did with artists back in the day? were they just published online or something? 📚👀
 
Brian Smith's departure is like when our politicians retire – it leaves a huge void that's hard to fill 🤔. Just like how his extensive collection was instrumental in shaping the British blues scene, we need people who can leave a lasting impact on our own music and cultural heritage. I mean, think about it, if Smith didn't have those connections at Twisted Wheel club, who knows when we would've gotten to see some of those iconic blues legends perform live? It's like how our politicians need strong relationships with international partners – Smith's networking skills were key to getting those artists in front of his camera 📸. Now we're left wondering what other stories and photos are still waiting to be uncovered from that archive... 🤯
