LIMITED COLLECTION
FROM THE
PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi Michael Jackson fans,
​
I am excited to share a few announcements with you.
First I have dug into the archives again, and have curated a new set of images which are available for purchase on my website. I am trying to get orders in and delivered worldwide before Christmas, so if you want something new, please act quickly. I am particularly proud of this batch. I have created some new tryptichs and I also am offering a new enlarged contact sheet from “Scream” which I think you will love. As always, the prints are very high quality custom archival printed and hand signed by me, and of course if you want it personalized just ask.
​
Another announcement, In 2022, I was approached to license one of my photos for the cover of a book by Harriet J. Manning, The book is titled Michael Jackson and the Blackface Mask, and it is a deep look at Michael and his place in the long history of black entertainment. It is a very academic book, so expect to learn a whole lot. It is brilliantly researched and is available in hardback and e-book format but is going to be available in a softcover edition from 27 November. You can order it directly through the publisher or Amazon. We even have a discount code (MJBM30). But seriously please support this work. It is important to maintain MJ‘s place in history, and part of that happens through academic study.

Book by Harriet Manning
​
My third announcement is that I have been in a long conversation on the MJ Blog "Dancing with the Elephant". This is a long running conversation between Willa Stillwater, Harriet Manning, and I where we get into some of my stories in far greater detail than have ever been discussed. They ask great questions, and it has really been a blast. And as a bonus we are including some never seen behind the scenes photos.
Last but not least, My friends at "Kingvention" still have the SPW collection available on their site. This includes 4 items from the "HIStory" teaser. One of which is the first ever T-shirt with one of my images. Please pop over there and have a look. And let me know if you like the t-shirts. I might consider doing other things like that.
​
So to recap:
New prints are available on my website. Order soon to have by the holidays.
Harriet Manning’s book:
Michael Jackson and the Blackface Mask
in Softcover available soon from Routledge.
Readers can get a 30 percent discount on the second edition of Michael Jackson and the Blackface Mask on the Routledge website using promotion code MJBM30.
