Title: Rotten rain - Prince
Post by: Olivier on April 22, 2016, 12:38:25: We went to a modern art exhibition today in Vence near Nice, south of France.
One piece was clearly built on the famous song "Purple Rain". The room was painted in purple.
"Pluie Pourrie" means rotten rain, very timely unfortunately.

The piece was created in 2003 by Claude Leveque.

Post by: Anirban Halder on April 23, 2016, 16:34:49: I happen to land few days back here in Minneapolis - Prince's home ground. Thousands of fans gathered in "First Avenue" (a music venue/nightclub) that night and also in Prince's Paisley Park Studios. "First Avenue", the club appeared in many scenes of the film Purple Rain. Everything that could be purple, was purple that night. RIP Prince.

Post by: Jakov Minić on April 24, 2016, 01:11:09: Anirban, thank you for the live updates :)
My favorite is Gett Off, but there are many other songs that could be mentioned as my favorite ones.
Frank, if Prince said that Doves Cry, then they do :)
Rare are multidisciplinary artists like Prince. Another one of those who did things that we always wanted to do but didn't have the nerve...
A purely unique guy!

Post by: Anirban Halder on April 24, 2016, 03:56:43: Not everyone seemed sad that Prince has passed away. Or may be why be sad, it is celebration of Prince's life.

P.S: Pardon the IQ of these smartphone photos. No DSLR in hand for few days.

Someone says that the best camera is what you have with you. If it is true, you shot these impressive images with your best camera. :)

Anirban, you obiously made very good use of the tool at hand.
The pictures are telling the story of that moment.
Very enjoyable.
Thank you that you shared them even if you had doubts about IQ, which I think was much too precautious.
Notably in these moments the best cam is the one you have - otherwise the moment would pass away undocumented.
