It really is a stunning photograph.
Joy Division, Hulme, Manchester, 6 January 1979 [cropped]
“Already, by then, I’ve shot two thirds of a roll of film, and I’m conscious of the fact that I didn’t really think I had anything. I’m walking up the bridge and they’re waiting for me, and I just felt it looked so bleak and they were so un-rock’n’roll like.. that I took two frames and then took an upright shot of the same thing and that’s all I did of that picture. And that’s become, probably.. the most recognized Joy Division image..”
