Anton Corbijn on Dan Van Vliet


Don Van Vliet photographed in the Mojave desert in 1980 by photographer and filmmaker Anton Corbijn, who said this a few years ago about the shoot: 

'I loved Don and he was a force to be reckoned with. I was proud to be called a friend of his. Many stories to tell but let’s just focus on one: without me having met him there would not have been a record title ’The Joshua Tree’. The photo here was taken in 1980 and i loved the shape so much that . . . thank you Don!'
