For the release of "Sonic Temple" Beggars Banquet were getting behind it big time, so we were doing lots of photo shoots in preparation. After the cover image, these ones of me, Ian and Jamie are probably the best known from that period and were taken just north of Los Angeles in the Palmdale/Lancaster area. It was only about an hours drive and back then it got the rather remote and “desolate” desert feel we were looking for but relatively close to the city."
