I photographed David Byrne of Talking Heads for Blender Magazine circa 1999 in my studio. At that time his genre was World Music, so the art director had an inflatable Earth they wanted David to hold and he refused because it was so corny and I thought so too. As a teenager, the album Fear of Music was one of my all-time favorites so this photoshoot was especially meaningful to me. David is now starring in his broadway show American Utopia at Hudson Theatre which he also wrote the music for - and I’m very excited to experience. Its also cool that I always see him around my neighborhood riding his bicycle.
