Does anyone know who took the album cover photo for Gift of Screws? That information would be very helpful to me, if you could share. Thank you! :thumbsup:

I don't know. But my guess would be Lindsey did it himself. Michele

I think so too, because of the videos. It's really the same type of shot. If we don't see a credit for the photographer, then I will assume it's him. I think if it was Kristen (and definitely if it was anyone else), they would get a credit on the cd.

Hmm...it could have been Kristen. Actually, I've always wondered what happened to the pics she took of him on their first meeting. Weren't they for the original Gift of Screws or am I off? If it was, I'm guessing this album is very special to them. :nod:

Do we know that Kristen was the one actually taking photos at that photo shoot?

The spare way Lindsey described their meeting, I wasn't sure that she was taking photos, at least not of him. She was there certainly, but I don't know quite what she was doing. Michele

No. I don't know anything, that's why I was wondering...in his Behind the Music he mentions that when she was leaving she had gotten her photographs...and then she came back (insert Lindsey's confident smirk). I honestly know nothing of their dealings, what pictures she took, or even what year it was. I was being inquisitive in an open forum, where many people here know quite more about LB and the details of his life than myself. :)

I'm quite curious myself- which is why I asked as well. The whole "Kristen was a photographer" thing has always seemed kind of dubious to me.

Well, according to this website (http://www.randomhouse.com/author/results.pperl?authorid=22804) she is credited as taking this picture: http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/authphoto_330/22804_oney_steve.jpg

And I know she took the cover and insert pics from this album:

So maybe she works periodically. I won't assume anything, but it isn't uncommon for women to basically give up their careers for the sake of their families. Although, I'm not sure how extensive her portfolio was/is, but three kids (and Lindsey- which is like 40 kids) can't be conducive to much of a prolific output. ;) Then again, I'm just talking hot air here...like I said, I really know nothing about it. Just assumptions.

A dubious dinstinction, in fact. ;)

At least one of the promo photos for Gift Of Screws is credited to Kristen.

The one where Lindsey is wearing the blue shirt.
Warner released two or three promo pictures with G.O.S.

Hate to say it, but I think that cover photo is unflattering, to say the least. Perhaps he's making an artistic statement. "My music speaks for itself - it has nothing to do with my looks. For that reason, I will make sure that I look like I just woke up with a bad hangover on my album cover. Oh - and make sure the light reflects off of my forehead and draws attention away from my striking eyes to my not-so-striking hairline!"

Well, I've got to admit - he certainly looks as if his essential oils have been wrung in that pic. It works thematically!

Does anybody remember this one (http://rateyourmusic.com/release/unauth/lindsey_buckingham/gift_of_screws__unreleased_album_/)? MUCH cooler.

Lucky for us he's a different animal onstage!

I don't like that pic. Under the skin cover is far better, fancy, stylish. The closeup of GOS is too raw, and he doesn't look happy. I don't get it.
