Save My Love
Another Eric Meola photograph chosen for a Bruce Springsteen cover
November 26 in the USA sees the release of a limited run 7 inch vinyl single by Bruce Springsteen: "Save My Love" / "Because The Night". We were delighted to learn that Bruce has chosen one of Eric Meola's photographs for the cover. This image is titled "Brenda's Cafe" and was included in our exhibition of Eric's work in London in August 2010, Darkness Visible.
It was taken in 1977 in Lovelock, Nevada. Eric has strong memories of that trip, and planning the location for the sessions: "In the fall of 1977 I spent days looking at maps, and then settled on a stretch of Route 80 between Salt Lake City and Reno, Nevada. Finally, the plans came together—we would fly out to Salt Lake, find an old car, and drive it across the desert to Reno. Then, the day before we were due to leave, Elvis died. We flew to Salt Lake on schedule, and spent an afternoon in used car lots, finally settling on a red convertible—a 1965 Ford Galaxie 500XL with bucket seats."
Brenda's Cafe is available to purchase in two size options - you can view sizes and prices here
It works incredibly well on the wall with another of Eric's photographs from that same trip, and one of his most popular photographs, Valmy. Check out the mock up below to see what we mean.
