" HOLE " ?!?

So. Why "HOLE" ?


Well, first of all, when I say my inspiration is Nan Goldin's work or Lynch's work it's true but it's not all the truth.


Music is my first inspiration.


When I first started photography I knew NOTHING about photography (except may be Sarah Moon's work...). All I knew about photography was on CD covers. So basicly photography and music are linked for me. Maybe it's why I love Nan Goldin's work too. Because of her "sideshows".


Anyway, some musical artist influenced me A LOT.
It's Jon Crosby/VAST.
I REALLY DIG his music and it's such an inspiration for me.
I'm listening to his music right now.


One of his song is named "DIRTY HOLE" (here we are !) and it influenced me. I kinda like the symbolism of the hole. The void. The emptiness. And of course the sexual symbolism.


Here are the lyrics. I'll post more about about Jon Crosby because I have so much to say. If you don't know the man and his work, run to the myspace page.

i saw the grave stones
i saw nine year old boys
somehow i knew
they hated me
you can live as long as
you want to live
lately all i want is to be
in you hole
sleep without a dream
as cold as it seems
its my destiny
how many men have been
in your sacred hole
(how many dead men god?)
as i spread her thighs
my life flashes
before my eyes
soothing, disturbing
i'm intoxicated with fear
how many men have died?
in your dirty hole
how many men lay dead
from this killing hole
