looking for tom's picture

since i was in dublin a couple of months ago, i've been looking for a picture of tom waits that i saw in a gallery in which we bumped into just by chance... it was full of pictures of musicians, and there were two nice shots of tom taken during a gig in london years ago... so i started looking for those pictures, a while ago, but i didn't remember the name of the gallery. thanks to google, you start typing "photo tom waits" and something else and you find tons of stuff... for example this nice picture by a deborah chesher, who apparently was active as a rock and roll photographer back then (check her blog, even though the title's pretty scary...)
not the one i was looking for, but still cool, look at the smoke! which by the way one can also purchase as a poster as well... but still, not really my picture.

then i start googling for "dublin photo gallery whatever" and finally i end up in the website of the gallery (www.gallerynumberone.com) which at the time was not so updated... so the only thing i found out was that the guy whose photos were hanging there when i happened to be in the gallery is a certain david corio, and apparently he shot this very famous one which you can find almost everywhere... and i almost convinced myself that the picture i liked so much was this one, which is very pretty anyway. but i was not sure, at least i didn't remember why i really liked it. i mean, it's nice the way the hands reflect the light and everything, but still.
so after i while i check the website again, and now it's updated, and full of pictures, to buy too, if you have that money and wish to spend them on a photograph... and i find other pictures of tom, still by corio, nice pictures in the dark (i wish i could shoot in the dark some day) but still don't tell me much. and then finally, if you have survived alive until the end of this post, here it is, the picture i was looking for, and why did i really like it? it's plain, simple, won't say much to a lot of people, but me, i've never been to his concerts, and he doesn't really seem keen on doing any soon, so i have to imagine how it is, and that's almost exactly how i imagine it would be...

and still it's nice to imagine, but with a soundtrack it's better...
