350 ...Rubin Hurricane Carter
350 Image-Content-Blog of the Day 2019/02/08 of-by patrick wey https://blog.patrickwey.com/category/image-content-of-the-day I knew that Rubin Hurricane Carter loved horses by the lyrics in Bob Dylan's song entitled 'Hurricane', 'And ride a horse along a trail'. When i went to photograph Rubin i suggested to go out by his horses. I wish i had spend more time that day. I had taken better portraits in my career but i was honoured to get to know Rubin and the opportunity to capture a few moments of his life after he was finally released from 20 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Rubin was a gentle powerful soul and we had a few very intimate conversations which i'll take to the shadows of the other side. When you're in the presence of such a man the shallow seems to fade into another level where silence has the last word. 'Rubin could take a man out with just one punch But he never did like to talk about it all that much It's my work, he'd say, and I do it for pay And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way Up to some paradise Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice .....And ride a horse along a trail..... But then they took him to the jailhouse Where they try to turn a man into a mouse' Full Lyrics - https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/bobdylan/hurricane.html YouTube Song and pictures - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGMSfiH850o Image circa early 90's at his home at the time outside King City north of Toronto #hurricanecarter, #bobdylan, #rubinhurricanecarter, #patrickwey,
