about this image
One day while I was out location scouting I came across a makeshift trash dump where some inconsiderate person had left a number of pieces of old furniture right in the middle of a dead-end street. Rather than lament the ignorance of this illegal dumper, however, I saw an opportunity for quite a unique band promo. What you see above is the result.
