View My Stats This photograph has a story behind it as many of the photos on my website does, but if you want the full details about how it came to existence feel more than free to send me an email. This was one of the few pictures I own of Peter Murphy. I met him over a period of years, and recently I was photographed with the founder of Bauhaus, Daniel Ash, which can be seen at the right of the page. Many of the photos on this site will have stories on them and I will go into detail about the stories at a later time. If you want to check out one of their videos, they got a cover of David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust," and this would be their video for it.        As my room mate is devoted to writing old school horror, science fiction, and speed/thrash metal, I am devoted to this particular band. The photo with Daniel Ash was taken very recently in Tinley Park, Illinois. A friend of mine did the artwork that is displayed proudly on the wall above my wide collection of Horror movies. If you come to the apartment for a party that I will sometimes host or visit, this will be the first thing you'd see if you sit on the wood and leather couch. This was something Nick got notice of when he went to lay down during the first ever party I had here. Some of the other artwork made an appearence in his short story, The Temp and that story can be read in the fourth issue of his magazine<.
