U2 was the first band that caught my interest as a teenager! I was seriously in love with Edge, actually I still am and still really love their music, especially the earlier stuff. Under a Blood Red Sky was the first album I ever purchased, back in the days of cassette tapes. Sunday Bloody Sunday, New Years Day, songs with a strong political element, passionate and powerful, a deeper meaning and motivation at play. I was young, naive and idealistic but the realisation that there are many ways to fight stuck with me! Recognition that music, art, beauty and connection could be more powerful and enduring than bullets and bombs is something I still believe. U2 came to Perth in 1989, the year I finished year 12. I went to their concert with some friends. Of course it was amazing, we wore short skirts and thought we were so sophisticated!! This image was taken on my camping trip. The sky really was that colour, I haven’t used filters or increased the saturation. At sunset the sky in the west was pink and the colour just got deeper and deeper and deeper ending up blood red!! I had put the camera away but got it out again because it was such a beautiful, dark, pure, glowing colour. The rest of the sky was black with the first stars appearing so I put the camera on a 15 second exposure. Usually I am disappointed with colour in images but in this case it captured it pretty accurately. When I saw the images on the computer the first thing that came to mind was U2’s album and those distant memories!
