The world is corrupt...


Septembers issue of Dazed and Confused.
Front cover news!
It said...

"Polaroid R.I.P? Portfolio with Steven Klein, Bruce Webber, David Lynch and more..."

Well that was enough information there for me to turn to the page. Im doing my dissertation on David Lynch, maybe it would provide me with some useful information, maybe a quote or two...

This is what I found...

Photobucket

Underneath it simply said-

"DAVID LYNCH, HENRY FROM ERASERHEAD, JUNE 1972
"First night shooting on Eraserhead""

WTF.
Worst article ever.
So what it was a 26page story with an informative history of the polaroid, a vast portfolio of sentimental snapshots by a number of big names, and technically the front cover wasn't lying or anything but...
come on, some of them had a quote from the artist about the photo. Few lines at least!
It doesn't even look like Henry from Eraserhead!

Photobucket

I found the photo and more on davidlynch.com from the first few days of shooting Eraserhead. So, if you wanted to BUY the set of twelve prints of Polaroids it will cost you $30...and if you wanted the set delivered to the UK?...$145.

The End.
