Araki and Jonathan Richman (荒木とジョナサン・リッチマン)

I’ve found myself praising Araki for bringing his own life as close to photography as possible. I don’t think Araki’s photos break too much ground aesthetically, but there’s so much of his life in his photos—maybe even his entire life! Photography is like breathing for him. Just look at how much he’s enjoying himself here:

Araki’s musical equivalent might be Jonathan Richman, who’s not trying to reinvent the wheel, but who expresses himself clearly and naturally when he’s performing. He and Araki both got started around the same time, and are still going strong today.

Very likely the only blog post, or anything really, that mentions Araki and Jonathan Richman together.

Love it.

thanks russ. just trying to game the search engines for some of that hot “araki richman” traffic!

Well, just don’t put up a Bill Eggleston v Moe Tucker post. That amount of traffic would put your site down for sure……
