Tex Perkins and Slim Chances

09-November-2009

I was working with Jon Paterson in 2000 in a studio in Lismore. Jon's brother Murray is a talented musician/singer/songwriter who often plays with Tex Perkins.

Word came through that Tex was after a particular shot for his new album and we were the chosen ones. It was a pure stroke of luck, Tex was an international star with a legendary reputation, and I had no reputation at all. After tossing a few ideas around we decided to do the shoot in the back alley behind the studio. Jono was using a  hose and at the same time manually triggering a softbox during the time exposure. Tex set off his own flash inside the car, Murray kept everyone amused and I took the shot. Tex is as cool and gracious in person as he is onstage.
