I'm not really sure at what point it was taken but to me it doesn’t really matter. At the time I was embarking on my own musical journey.Īlthough it did not really mean much to me back then, this image now invokes all sorts of sadness, melancholy, and a degree of vulnerability.Īs a sufferer of newly found epilepsy and going through a series of mental health issues, I find the image has me questioning what actually goes on in other people's heads. One of music's most troubled souls, Ian Curtis committed suicide in 1980.
Taken by my Favourite photographer Anton Corbijn it is this image of Ian Curtis that I have chosen for my 'Image That Made Me Weep'.Īlthough this image doesn’t actually bring me to tears it does the closest thing to it.
