Untitled digital photograph, 2012
The first shot reminds me of that point in the mid-late Eighties when grunge was the dominant strain of popular music. I was a fan of Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. at the time and was trying hard to find a visual equivalent of their noise antics. Not sure I ever pulled it off. Anyway, the first shot…doesn’t remind me of the music so much as the film, Singles (1992) – a grunge cash-in starring Matt Dillon.
No.s 6 & 7 in an occasional series.

I’m really enjoying this series. You’re managing to make some great pictures and they’re working really well as a group.
Thanks very much – I take that as a real compliment. So glad you are enjoying them.
Wow, Singles – haven’t seen that in years. Grunge I remember it well. never really got into myself but I was fascinated by that cultural strain. The photos are wonderful. i especially like the second one.
Thanks Mobius – glad you like them. I was never a participant in the culture either – except musically, it never really took hold over here.
Great images, Richard!! And it’s true, many times we find how the wheel has completed another turn and things repeat!!! (fashion, music,…).
Thanks Santi! Yes, we’re probably due a revival any day now…
