Roman Candle #2

Roman Candle #2

Only three years after issue one, the second issue of Roman Candle magazine is finally done. Sticking with the vague theme of ‘stuff I find interesting’, this one features…

• An interview with photographer Chris Shaw about his stint as a night porter and the alchemy of the darkroom.
• A chat with artist Dick Jewell about found photos and club culture.
• A conversation with E-Man from the notorious NYC bike messenger crew, the X-Men.
• An interview with photographer Harvey Wang about capturing the overlooked side of New York.
• Bongwater/Shimmy Disc man Kramer on debunking the paranormal and the time Peter Hook took him for a spin around the back streets of Manchester.

This is all served up alongside short stories courtesy of Alex Appleby and Harry Longstaff, some choice Maine license plates snapped by Jake Frost, a brief chat with Jonathan Richman about his side-job making bread ovens, some words about Bob Dylan from Rivendell Bicycle Works main-man Grant Petersen and some spiel about the mysterious 35mm photos which have been adorning Jandek record sleeves since the 70s.
