Sam’s website in his new ” Store ” section which is really worth looking at because there is not only iconic and unusual photographs available to purchase but also some other cool stuff for sale that is not available any other place.
And as Sam says:
Today is a great day to check out the Sam Jones Pictures store. We have just added a series of six Chicago cityscape photographs that I made while working on the Wilco Documentary. Some of these images were used in the original album art for Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, including the cover image of the album. Some have never been seen. To me, they are a great time capsule of my experiences making I Am Trying to Break Your Heart. The images are sized so that they can hang individually, or as a series on a wall. I also made a set of four images that can be bought together at a substantial savings. Mailing list subscribers can save an additional 10% on either the set of four, or individual images, by using the code MARINA at checkout.
Here is the story behind the photographs, and DO check out the store. Take a look here
Music can do so many things to the brain. It can shape our emotions, bring an idea into sharper focus, or suggest environments or even whole worlds. When I first heard the early demos that would become Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, I was the passenger in a car being piloted by Jeff Tweedy, who also has strong feelings about the power of music. We were driving around Chicago, because Jeff said, “these songs sound best in the car, where the view is moving and changing.” As I let the music wash over me, I also took in the passing landscape—Midwest apartment buildings, Lakeshore Drive, bridges, old concrete structures mixed with modern architectural behemoths, and Lake Michigan, always a presence–framing the city and spilling between the buildings at every turn.
