I staged this shot in the backyard of my
Nashville house with a friend’s then-new BMW, a garden hose, a shop
light up in a tree behind, and some steam (provided mostly by the
friend’s willing girlfriend). Another in a series of “blank check”
album
covers, in which the client had no actual “artist” to show on the
cover, and no interest at all in what went onto it. I had a lot of fun
with it and the client got a good deal more than his money’s worth.
