Its nearly Christmas and many of you will be buying and recieving CD's, books or special items from the City Superstore. Theres a fair chance that any of these items will have the superb award winning photography of die hard City fan Kevin Cummins.



His portfolio includes music artist ranging from Queen to the Sex Pistols and of course his work has featured on various bands such as Smiths, Joy Division, Courtney Love, David Bowie, Adam Ant and Oasis amongst others as well as the Madchester scene and has a long 25 year association with NME - http://www.kevincummins.co.uk/gallery/index.php?list=2

Kevin was the official photography for the Farewell to Maine Road celebrations which documented City's final season at Maine Road in the book We're Not Really Here and he took many of the photos in the final programme. He was also the official photographer on board the bus for the FA Cup celebration tour - http://www.kevincummins.co.uk/index.php

This is your chance to ask any questions to him be it on photography, Music or City.

So we're not allowed to post before 8pm sunday, and yet we're not told when the actual Q&A is.

For people who have to make special arrangements to use the internet after 6pm UK time (ie me), can you say whether the session/question submission is sunday night or later next week?

Ha ha BIB ... what a plumb I am, duly changed. Questions can to be posted from now, any submitted after 10pm BST on Sunday sadly will not be included ...Ta

Kevin what is your favourite photo?

Kevin

Never knew it was a Blue who did the Roses photo shoot of them in the paint, and very good it was too, it was on a poster on my wall for many years. Anyway, did you have more of a connection and warm towards to Reni what with the rest of them being rags?

Kev, I've always been interested in photographing scenery like mountains and lakes and I'm blessed to be from Wales, where they are just endless amounts of these. What would a starter camera be with a budget of about £500 ?

Cheers Kev

Ha ha "blessed to be from wales". Good one :)

Kevin when you look back at your career do you believe you've genuinely earned the accolades you've received or in keeping with what seems a genuine down to earth Manc persona do you feel like a bit of a blagger?

Hello Kevin what would you class as a iconic image and what image would you say is the most touching.

Deadline for your questions is now 10pm tonight!

Kevin, one of my abiding memories of you was on an early Sky programe called 'Taking the pitch' where the city panel of Rodney Marsh, Eddie Large and superfan and London Branch head honcho Steve Irwin beat the rags in the semi final of the show (Steve smashed a penalty past Peter Shilton with his DM's) .... we were sat next to each other in the audience and you got a tad upset with one of their fans and er .. um ... set light to his scarf. What are your true feelings on United fans and United in general?

THE QUESTIONS DEADLINE IS NOW 4pm on Monday... GET THEM IN!!!

Just over 15mins left ...

who have you photographed that's been the most fucked up on drugs? Do you prefer staged shots or live? Ever taken sports shots? Living in Oz would I have seen any of your work before? Do you loathe rap/hip hop rnb? Who haven't you photographed yet that you'd like to? Which City player would you like to do a shoot with?

Oh, and are you carlfeedthegoat in disguise?

Kevin, what was the most sad moment for you as a blue?
