May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I would love to be in a position to buy quite a number of Carly’s prints but as the cheapest is as close to £200 as you can get (minus shipping)…well, it is unlikely. Two at best – unless he offers a (considerable) discount for buying in bulk? I mean ten prints will be £2000!…
I *am* meant to be working on putting together a transcript for an interview…but I wanted to get lost in art instead. When you love the holga setting and want to fill the world with Kerrs (preferably ones of the “Jim” variety). Just call me Randy Warhol ???

I had the privilege to conduct my first ever professional interview for this blog with Simple Minds’ (and indeed Johnny And The Self Abusers) original lighting technician, Jaine Henderson.
