This series of photographs were inspired by the lyrics of the incomparably great Bob Dylan, and are an homage to The New Basement Tapes, and to the musicians – Elvis Costello, Rhiannon Giddens, Taylor Goldsmith, Jim James and Marcus Mumford – who collaborated to create this beautiful record produced by T Bone Burnett. From it’s release in 2014 to just this past night, this album has provided me with profound inspiration; I hear, feel and see each song as an emotionally powerful, minimal short story.
If you haven’t heard it yet, I suggest you treat yourself and buy a copy right away.
