During today’s screening of CONTROL, I got to meet Anton Corbijn for a few moments. I told him I was a photographer, and that his work inspired me. He thanked me, wished me luck, and told me to enjoy the film. He also autographed my LP copy of All That You Can’t Leave Behind by…
Reaction: CONTROL
Saturday morning began with a big film for me. When I’m not blogging and running around film festivals, I’m a photographer. When I was first getting into photography, Anton Corbijn was one of the artists I was inspired by. So it was with great anticipation today that I went to see CONTROL (* * *…
