Dave Robinson | Founder of Stiff Records / Camden NW1 December 11, 2007
What a fierce man! He looks like an American hero! - Danielle "If it ain't Stiff it ain't worth a fuck" - ghobii - http://www.ghobii.com intense. speaks volumes. a perfect subject. - story - prettylittlemess.wordpress.com Grrrr. Love it. - superfluous aussie are those guns in the background? This makes me curious about the context, and yet it seems kinda fitting that way anyway. - Peter Boysen - http://www.peterboysen.com Tell Jona Lewie I'm in a meeting! - Will Birch - www.willbirch.com hey... it's christmas-season... halloween has passed a while ago :-) - samsplanet Does he have a 'Hog' parked out back? - Jack H Wow! They do look like guns. If Robert Rodriguez saw this, Danny Trejo would be out of a job. Great stiff stuff. - Simon Thers an element of Red Indian there-crossed with Dublin that is
Come down to the BPI sometime and shake them all up ! - wilfrid mann Blimey I've got a chiness takeaway down the road, I thought the bloke behind the counter look familiar. - Steve Melhuish That's one tough picture. He looks like a pissed off mafia boss, not a founder of a record company. Cool photo, really! - Ela It's a Ming the Merciless wannabe! - Jn "Dave, you'll never get the band up to Belfast in time for soundcheck. There's been a lightning go-slow strike on the border!" - Graham Parker - www.grahamparker.net Bill, this is rock royalty. Congratulations on a great shot, and on having Graham Parker post to your site. - Dave Wow. Intense. Looks like he's chewing on glass. - nuno This is all made better by the fact that I know this man - Matt This guy will eat your babies - Danny Garcia I am not seeing what you're seeing, I'm not seeing a mad man. I'm seeing a symphatetic man. I'm seeing love in his eyes, a history. I love the picture, if you look good you will see so much more then just an (angry) man. - Charlotte van Bree I don't see an angry man. I see a man who takes no bullshit. I see a man who has worked damn hard his whole life and has bloody earnt that scowl. I see a man who was/is probably a threat to many in the music industry (so the suggestion of machine guns in the background is probably appropriate). But he also looks like a man who'd be very generous when it comes to what he's passionate about, and the people he respects. Nope, he's not angry - he's formidable! That's the story this portrait tells to me. Just my take. :) - superfluous aussie Agreed. Much love in this soul...just look deeper. It is very intense shot for sure. - Cycleogical This lovely man needs no guns...he had a baseball bat!! GREAT photo. Hi Will Birch,how are you?? - Sonnie I love this portrait. It is very strong. Thank you Bill for giving me so much inspiratation with your project. - Olaf - http://www.52portraits.com Beneath that rough, tough exterior there's a great big softie struggling to get out! - Trevor awesome shot bill - danielkrieger - www.danielkrieger.com oh wow. - Ulrich - http://uhilger.de You should see him when he's angry.... - Nigel D - www.nigeldick.com I only ever met three Irish men that I never really liked and Dave Robinson was at least two of them. - Dr.Noel Brown
I'm Bill Wadman, a New York-based photographer who after completing my first 365 Project, and then a weekly 52 Project, took it upon myself to shoot and post one portrait every day of 2007. Each photo was taken that day, and each day was a different subject. Some were be in the studio, some in the wild. Hopefully they are all interesting.
