Let me take your photo

Before receiving his BA degree from the State University of New York at Purchase in 1985 and an M.F.A. in photography from Yale University in 1988, Gregory Crewdson played in a rock and roll band called The Speedies.

The band was formed when Crewdson was 16. He played rhythm guitar and wrote and co-wrote many of the band's songs. They're known for wearing hideous Italian designers of that time just for the fun of it.

The title of their first single was "Let me take your photo". Isn't that an irony? Well, the song was actually about how to get chicks. If you dare, have a look at their video.
