Often I google folk I knew as a child, curious to know what they did with their lives. Today I wondered what someone googling me would find.
What I found surprised me. As a photojournalist, the pretentious term applied to photographers who shoot pictures for a newspaper, I have quite the record of work on view and so much of the stuff on view I shot but I don't remember shooting.
Life's long, so very, very long and complex. You think you recall everything and yet you don't. Not even close.
After admitting that, I have to say finding my shot of Canadian singer Bif Naked uncovered long buried memories. Bif, or should I say Ms Naked was a sweet heart, a gentle, young lady. I had to spend a couple of hours with the artist before she went on stage. It was a delightful two hours. And her look, those eyes, that voice, Bif Naked was the complete package.
Rick Mercier, a Canadian comedian/journalist/documentary-maker (Don't ask.), spent a day with Bif Naked some years ago. I liked some of the comments made by viewers of the little clip.
- Bif is one of the sweetest, kindest women I have ever had the pleasure to meet.
- i LOVE her!!!!!! you can't get any cooler than that :) <3 its so awesome to live in vancouverrr :)
- How cute was that? Biffy and Rick should team up!
- Met her twice in person. She is as awesome as she seems from this video.
- I have never felt more Canadian! :D
