From the first time I heard Prince, ‘For You’ in 1979 I was a fan. I loved his style, loved his music. Went to concerts at First Avenue, the Carlton Celebrity Room, Minnesota Black Music Awards, etc. with the last at the Dakota. As a graduate from the U of MN 1979 in Studio Arts, I enjoy making images, moving and still, so naturally I wanted to document everything Prince, from the murals around town, to the Minneapolis City Hall tower bells ringing Prince music in the rain, to local musicians playing Prince tributes. I was fortunate to make it inside First Avenue the night of his death when thousands of fans tried to gain entry to the all-night dance party, the ultimate farewell to our hometown hero. His music lives on.
