David Carson Design / Beach Culture Magazine | Photo of Lyle Lovetts feet by Alan Messer
This photograph of Lyle Lovett’s feet was shot purposefully by me using an SX70 Polaroid,
as I was making a collage, somewhat influenced by David Hockney.
At the time (1990) I was designing and screenprinting the American Original series for CBS Nashville at my Broadway studio working with film overlays, Swan Morton scalpels, rulers, inks, acetone paint thinners, etc.,
David Carson asked me to photograph Lyle Lovett for Musician Magazine, a classic magazine. Carson reused one of my favourite pictures of Lyle’s feet in the avant garde and highly acclaimed Beach Culture magazine.
