单集简介 ...

Danny Clinch has played with, photographed, and filmed some of the most iconic musicians in modern history, including Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Tupac Shakur, and Johnny Cash. Acclaimed as one of the top photographers in the music scene (http://www.dannyclinch.com/) for decades and the recipient of 3 Grammy Award nominations himself, Danny’s work has appeared everywhere in Vanity Fair, Spin, Rolling Stone, and GQ, as well as numerous galleries. He recently founded the Transparent Gallery (https://www.facebook.com/dannyclinchtransparent/) at the Asbury Hotel to showcase music and culture in the area, along with his annual Sea.Hear.Now music and art festival (https://www.seahearnowfestival.com/). In addition to his camera, the other thing Danny Clinch never leaves home without is his harmonica. He doesn't just love photographing musicians, he's also a long-time lover and creator of music, playing with his own band and sitting in with many of the amazing people he photographs. In today’s conversation, we talk about the complete coincidence that led to him first picking up a camera, how he honed his chops under Annie Leibovitz and other legends in the biz, and the power of place and devotion in shaping who we become. ------------- Have you discovered your Sparketype yet? Take the Sparketype Assessment™ now.

单集文稿 ...

  • You ever meet somebody and when you ask them what they do, and they start to tell you, and they're just full body lit up, like they can't actually believe they get to do this thing that they do for their life, and you ever actually meet somebody and they've been doing that for decades, and they still feel the same way, like it's play, and they can't wait to do it.

  • That is my guest today, Danny Clinch.

  • Danny is.

  • He probably wouldn't describe it this way, but I will describe him as an iconic music photographer.

  • He has literally toured with, traveled with, photographed nearly every major name in music for the last couple of decades.

  • It has become his life, his consuming passion.

  • He is also a musician who has had the incredible fortune to befriend many of these same people and play on stage with them, sometimes in an organized way, sometimes just in something that kind of magically comes together at the same time.

  • He's raised a family pretty much where he grew up, which is Toms River, New Jersey, and not too far away in the legendary, sometimes famous, sometimes infamous, now expanding quickly, Asbury park in New Jersey, home of the famed Stone pony.

  • He decided that he kind of wanted to create a space and give back.

  • And he has opened his own space called the Transparent Gallery, that hosts all sorts of things, from shows to art to all sorts of musical acts, bands, singers, songwriters, and more recently, collaborated with a group of friends to create the see her now festival, which combines music and surfing and art all in one beautiful experience.

  • He is a person who literally just is alive in every part of his life.

  • It was my absolute pleasure to sit down with Danny and explore his early life.

  • The big influences, the seeming sliding doors that completely changed everything in a moment's notice.

  • And how he has crafted a life, he will tell you, not entirely intentionally, that seems to fill every nook and cranny and makes it really good.

  • So excited to share this conversation with you.

  • I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.

  • I grew up, my dad was a house painter and wallpaper hanger.

  • So very blue collar in, you know, this little community.

  • We were about 2 miles, maybe a mile and a half, 2 miles from a place called Shelter Cove, which was a little beach, like a bay.

  • A bay beach, like right off the Toms river, the Barnegat bay.
