Description
Of this image, Barry Feinstein wrote: "11th of May, waiting at the Aust Ferry Terminal near Bristol to go to Cardiff in Wales. They chose this shot for the cover of Scorsese’s No Direction Home CD and DVD. It’s one that Bob likes as it told it all. It has depth, he looked cool. I guess he felt it represented the moment to him."
The distortions in Dylan's figure; the exaggerated but simple perspective with the angle of the wharf's edge and the ferry building leading back to a central vanishing point; the placement of the horizon line right at Dylan's shoulders; the swirling congestion of the water; and the range of black, white and multiple greys all contribute to this iconic image.
