OK, so this is another shot of David Byrne in concert at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow. However, obviously I've had a little play with this shot.

For what it's worth, here's how my approach and thought processes went on this one.

Firstly, I took the decision to make this a black and white shot...simply because it made it stronger than being in colour (at least in my view).

Next, I came up with the title...often I would try to go with a title that relates directly to the musician/performer concerned...but in this case...the title was simply inspired (?) by the positions of the group...and indeed the role of Mr Byrne.

That was that...or so I thought. However, given the title I then started to think about possibilities of emphasising David Byrne rather more.

Initially, I thought about Reservoir Dogs...and making each individual a different colour...but leaving David Byrne as 'Mr Blonde'. I tried that...but decided it was too busy and distracting. It also didn't make sense (given my title) to show the "pack" as individuals...they had to be treated similarly. Mind you, I could then have changed the title to 'Rainbow Coalition' or indeed 'Reservoir Dogs'...who knows....it might yet appear! ;-)

So, that was how I came up with the shot you see before you. However, if you would like to see the "pure" Black and White version...it's actually now on the tour pics section on David Byrne's website:

I owe (yet another) debt of thanks to Alex Hewitt from The Scotsman, for arranging my photo pass for this concert.

You can see some other pics of this fabulous performer in my David Byrne set.

Years ago

I was an angry young man

I'd pretend

That I was a billboard

Standing tall

By the side of the road

I fell in love

With a beautiful highway

In the Distillery District, Talking Heads by Victor Vicsek and Perspective by Studio Rosenblatt

For a minature train that circles the Columbia Sussex building. So strange.

Supergirl moping on a shitty hotel couch after a cross country drive. Her expression brought these lyrics to mind:

"And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack

And you may find yourself in another part of the world

And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile

…

And you may ask yourself

Where is that large automobile?

And you may tell yourself

This is not my beautiful house …“

Figured it had been a while since I did a White Noise image and I felt like I should put a little effort into todays image since I have been slacking so much lately...heh.

Hope you all had a great weekend :-)
