Black And White Bohemia Pamela Springsteen

Her photos are intimate, not just of a famous brother but also of trees in the middle of Mississippi. They’re emotional shots. They feel like they were born from the 1960’s black and white era. She was born in New Jersey, yet her work has a bohemian California feel. She’s packaged album covers for music legends in many genres. Her iconic album cover The Predator for Ice Cube is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. All of this was born from a passion for photography. She had no formal training. Just raw talent. Out of the blizzards of New York City was born the beginnings of her career.

Q&A:

MAJ: What got you interested in photography and why?

SPRINGSTEEN: I became interested in photography when I was around 20 years old. I was invited to a Stevie Nicks concert by her photographer, Neil Preston. I watched him work. A few months later, I purchased my first film camera and started taking photos. It wasn’t until years later, however, the very first time I stepped into a photographer’s studio, that it struck me with complete certainty that this was what I wanted to do. It felt like home. I begged all my friends to let me photograph them, and spent some time in New York City during one of the biggest blizzards in decades walking the streets taking photos. I was hooked.

MAJ: Did you have any mentors?

SPRINGSTEEN: Yes, definitely. I had become obsessive about photography and knew it was the thing I wanted to pursue as a career. I had no formal experience. I loved shooting but knew nothing about the real world of being a photographer. I had the great fortune of being introduced to Glen Wexler through a friend. He took me on as an intern in spite of my lack of experience and became an amazing mentor. I will forever be grateful to him for giving me a chance and the opportunity to I learn from the best.

The Improbable Worlds of Glen Wexler

Alone cello player sits on top a solitary pinnacle towering above a demon’s hole. Above her head, ravens circle. They’re watching her choreograph her last rites with each draw of her bow. A giant guitar is hoisted out of a pit in a desert mine landscape. Miners oversee the guitar’s unearthing. A beautiful woman’s severed head rests on the wastelands. Her closed eyes and decorated face tell the story of her last breath. All these improbable realities are narratives created by celebrated photographer Glen Wexler. Known for his concepts and creative skill with the lens, Wexler has had a long and storied career that spans decades.

Lili Haydn And Opium Moon: Kama Sutra Music
Malibu Arts Journal

Lili Haydn And Opium Moon: Kama Sutra Music

Opium Moon plays Kama Sutra music. Her violin weeps the notes of a love ballad. The bow is at times ecstatic and at others barely touching the strings. As she performs, we’re transported to another universe. There are overtones of Itzhak Perlman in her fingers, and Isaac Stern in her bow. Best of all, in her facial expressions you will find the plateaued emotions of her musical performance. Her whole body is into it, like a violent ballet. This is Lili Haydn with Opium Moon.
