Corbijn shot on film. His great gift was the selection of context. Joy Divison in a snowy/post-industrial backshot. Beefheart (+ hat) in the desert.
It's not history repeating itself so much as imitating history.

I remember Dusty Dicks, which was around where the unfunnily named Lettuce Eat is now, think it was a second-hand shop which advertised itself as an antique shop, but I could be wrong there.
Also, just opposite that was a chippy that never really looked spotlessly clean, but done really nice rolls and sausage. Wish I could remember the name of it.

Was that maybe Carlo's, place next to the Kendal?

That's right he used a wee leica quite often, and burnt in / masked off stuff in the dark room ( there have been a couple of documentaries about him) .
But people have "dramatic effect" in camera now and think it is all new fangled, jamais vu stuff!
Actually If I was to take a shoot aroundf what is left of 1960s/ 70s shop fronts in the dear-green-place then I would be tempted to get an Oly' mFT and shoot some off on dramatic effect.
Widening it oot, any suggestions on shops and caff's with vintage shop fronts from Clydebank to Riddrie?
