Eric
Clapton :
Ad Campaign for the Pilgrim Tour 1998
I had the great honor and opportunity to have one of my photographs
of Eric Clapton used in the national promotion of his Pilgrim Tour.
While
shooting Clapton in 1994 on his "From the Cradle" Tour
I had the chance to meet and chat with Clapton's Road manager. As
we talked that night he asked if I would send him any contact sheets
from what I shot that night. Natural I did that following week and
as commonly happens I never really heard back. Well not right away.
Four
years later I recieve a call from Clapton's people saying they would
like to use one of my images for Lexus Motors to promote his upcoming
tour. This image appeared in Rolling Stone, USA Today, Entertainment
Weekly, Time, US News & World Report and a few other publications.
Lexus also used it on their web site. It was quiet the honor and
also the best money I every made on a single concert photo.
