I still have a whole box of sequences in my garage that I recorded of my friends and I in my garden.
JENNIFER FINCH SERIES
My dad was an amateur photographer, he developed small series of photographs and recorded film footage for his own enjoyment, and always encouraged me to do the same. Where did the desire to take pictures come from? To come back to your previous question, putting them online really allowed me to understand what people thought of me. I didn't want to hurt anyone so I waited until the children had grown up before doing anything with them.īeyond all the parties and getting wasted, your pictures are also extraordinary documentations of the birth of grunge. The girls in the band have had children since they were taken. What made you decide to release the archives today? I've had these old negatives piled up in boxes for over 20 years. Taking their picture is something that has always felt perfectly natural. I like observing everyone, even people who freak me out.
It's part of the reason that a lot of rockers fall into drinking and doing junk.īut you were taking them for pleasure, not for what they might be worth later? You've got a lot of time to kill on tour. I was a bit bored, but not to the point where I regretted being a part of it. Tell us about what pushed you into taking the behind the scenes pictures of your band. It's sort of like the story of the fish and the bird that fell in love but couldn't live together-not on land nor in water. For the sake of his ego and my furniture, we decided that breaking up was for the best. We were together for four years but I think he's too big for all of it.
JENNIFER FINCH FULL
If you want the full story, I lived there with my boyfriend until two months ago. I have a really small house and two tiny dogs. I've always done a lot of volunteer work. I've even made one about archeology.Ĭoming from a girl who used to play bass in a band like yours, it's sort of hard to imagine. I've worked on all types of sites, from art magazines to comedy sites.
JENNIFER FINCH UPDATE
I also try and find addresses that could have a strong resale value or that I could update with whatever their owner might need. I make sure that the codes and the content are optimized for Google. I worked as a press agent a few years ago for some websites. I started as a programmer before moving into graphic design. Graphic design took up a lot of my time when I was traveling with the different bands I played with, my clients were always surprised to hear I was in France or Turkey when they were trying to get ahold of me. I was even teaching graphic design at a school in Los Angeles between tours. Then I started getting graphic design jobs.
I wore way too much make up, I looked like a drag queen!Īt the start of 2000 I was playing left, right, and center. If you come across any photos of me with bleached blonde hair, they were probably taken around this time. Jennifer Finch: A band that I was singing in and writing songs for, Other Star People, signed with AM Records. We don't really know why she decided to share her photos and stories with us after so many years, but we're glad she did. She's kept thousands of scrapbook pages hidden in cardboard boxes accumulating dust in her little home for 20 years. One day, bored between sets, she decided to find a way to hold on to her tour memories, which apparently amounted to an enviable life of dicking around and playing great shows.
