Here is a dancing girl in celebration of U2's new album "No Line on the Horizon" released today. Photographers will recognize the cover immediately. I can remember first seeing a book by Hiroshi Sugimoto full of horizon pictures of the sea. At the time I was a little baffled by a whole book on essentially variations of this one scene. Now his image is immortalized in the world of Rock and Roll.

Well, you just cost me some money. This will be the first cd that I've purchased for the cover. I love Sugimoto. I think his series of theatres is my favourite of his work.

I can't say I'm incredibly familiar with his other work. I'll have to look into it more. The music is also beautiful so you'll get double for your money. :)
