Light Years: 3 Decades Photography Among the Stars par Douglas Kirkland
1st edition
This is a must-have for anyone like me who grew up during the Thriller Era, if you can get it cheap like I did from Goodwill for $6. The photos are iconic and a testament to Michael's sweet, playful nature and work ethics but I would skip the commentary, not only are there inaccuracies, the author felt the need to pepper the text with "opinions" about Michael AFTER they had spilt ways. The book would have been better off with behind the scenes trivia and stories about interactions with Michael.
An interesting and quick read. Kirkland was the LIFE magazine photographer who was assigned to do a "making of" photo documentary for the music video Thriller back in 1983. This is a collection of his behind-the-scenes photos, accompanied by a variety of short essays and/or quotes from notable celebrities in Michael's life, or who were strongly influenced by Michael's work. The stills here remind me of the iconic images from the legendary Thriller music video, but add to that experience by showing Michael as a "real person", enduring hours in a special effects make-up chair without complaint, or goofing around with the director and crew. Jackson's Thriller album is still the top-selling album of all time, and may have shown the singer at the apex of his creative career. This is a very fond look back at that era, although it makes me a bit sad to think of how disconnected and bizarre he became in later years. Nicely packaged book...but a bit pricey. I'm glad I was able to read a copy from the library! [Obviously, you need to watch the Thriller music video (available commonly online), and listen to the full Thriller album to accompany this book!]
