The other one, that’s a nothing photO

“The other one, that’s a nothing photo, but has a good story to me. It’s on the back cover of the self-titled album. It’s the Ferris wheel in Vienna from the film The Third Man, the 1949 film. And it stars a very young kind of sexy Orson Welles. He has this wrestling match where they try to push each other off the wheel in Vienna, and that’s the wheel. I think we were both more enamored of the fact it was from this movie we really liked. But it’s also a good background photo.”

Prague. Outside a museum.

“Prague. Outside a museum. There are strings and I think you can see them in the original. He made a photocopy. There are two more of my photos on his records. I took the photo of the Ferris wheel on the back of one (Vienna) and there is a picture of a boy playing a keyboard sitting on a barrel in Portugal.”
