Note to self: don't walk through dry, expansive, epic-looking environment without being on alert, especially if everything is all black and white, or you might end up getting in the way of one of Anton Corbijn's shots.
Today I was just nonchalantly walking through the desert in Arizona, when I ran into a pretty weird-looking tree. I ended up in the background of a shot for the cover of U2's The Joshua Tree that was otherwise perfect. See how pissed they all look in the take they shot after I got out of the way?
As it turns out, Corbijn is basically a music imagery guru, and his work is always stark, pure, and minimalistic--not much use of special effects. Pretty awesome if you ask me.
