oh, I didn't know (and still don't really) who David is/was. I thought it's a real man standing there.
and now I will just forget that those are figures, not a real man.
because i think this is one of the few photos that has left such a strong, very strong impression on me.
absolutely brilliant composition as well.
Why am I not entirely surprised that the two images that caught my attention (well besides the pasta shoelaces - which are pretty tough to ignore) in this challenge were yours and xion's.
There was nothing private about it. Everyone knew that David was David Cassidy, but after that girl died at his concert, he needed some sort of shield, some facade he could at least pretend to hide behind. So he started a band. Not a family band. He would never go down that road again. He felt most comfortable in the company of strangers, and the world is full of desperate musicians, so he had his pick. Together, they created a sort of Latino gospel sound that the world had never heard before, with David's sweet high tones on top if it all like a luscious whipped cream. Seven different critics were publicly moved to tears by the third track, "In Your Good-bye Arms." Was it about the end of the Partridge Family? His dead fan? The replacement of a real family with a fake one? The ruination of his rock star dreams by a teen idol nightmare? It was about all those things and more. It was about every tear that was never shed, every boy sent to a desert, the tight lips of a realization... It was with this album that David Cassidy cut his hair and became a man.
Ah, these must be the Anthony Gormley figures that all face the Haymarket Art Gallery? They certainly are an arresting sight - although it is a bit of a shame that the plinth of the one on the upper roof is showing. Good composition.
Surely this should be Anthony's (Gormley) Private Life but then i guess this wouldn't have fitted the DPL. I do like the different shapes with the pyramids and straight lines on the buildings.
