This image brought to my mind the lovely line
"I'll see you in the skies above
In the tall grass
In the ones I love
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go"
from Blood On The Tracks - which is my all time favourite Dylan album ]]> Chris Eich - UK - Age: 47
Though dry fields flood and strange storms fill the sky, I'll meet a young girl who'll give me a rainbow. ]]> Christelle C.Bilodeau - Canada - Age: 18
Bob Dylan is my inspiration, my model. I love to draw him while i'm listening to his albums. His lyrics are a never-ending source of inspiration for me. In a way, I try to make a connection or a link between my art and his. ]]> Dana John Rahkola - Canada - Age: 48
The crossroad depicted in the photo signifies where a particular road is taken in life. I took my road at fifteen when I first heard Dylan. That path has continued throughout my life and Dylan's music always reflects honesty and magical storytelling - round in loops similar to the ghost-like helix. ]]> Eider Landajo - Spain - Age:29
Description: After 6 months without painting I took this book, and after the first pages I needed to paint on it. He is an inspiration. The drawing is a pencil copy of a Degraín's Quixote, made into the book "Bob Dylan, la biografía" (Howard Sounes), page 68. ]]> Geert Van Baelen - Belgium - Age: 30
I took this picture near my house in Overpelt, a little village in Belgium. It’s a region with a lot of desolate views and landscapes. When the weather is bad there is a melancholic atmosphere. When I was with reworking this pic, the words en the melody of Dylans’ ‘Love Sick’ came in my head spontaneously. It has certainly influenced the color pallet. A lost dog, and a crow in the background symbolize for me the human being in the song who’s moving true a desperate moment. ]]> Geysens Davey - Belgium - Age: 21
This picture (Graphic Consciousness) is a personal drawing on red paper. It represents the (graphic) stream of consciousness that was so specific for the beat generation, and especially for Dylan. Sometimes with his music in my ears, I drawed the smooth shapes mindless, reflecting only emotions. Included is a detail of the drawing which makes Dylan look on fire, as always. ]]> Gwen Jones - Bosnia and Herzegovina
As a teenager I grew up entranced by the country, then scruffy urban images that Dylan projected on his 60s albums. My photo-eye was forever influenced. I took this photo in a Roma Settlement in Kosovo in May 2007. This guy perched over his fence and moved me to click. Forget about race, country, year, this guy had such an alive, spontaneous Dylan look about him. But for sure, he has never heard the name Bob Dylan. ]]> James McGuire - Scotland - Age:35
The photo I have included is as simple as any image I can imagine in relation to what it is to be a human being. Our journey on this planet is to move forward... regardless of the constant storm bearing down. It is a journey you ultimately make on your own... with an open heart, an inquisitive mind and hopefully a sense of humour. It is these three fundamental values that form the entire foundation of Bob Dylan's body of work... And thats what makes him such an important and influential songwriter.]]> Jeffrey McCabe - United States of America - Age: 21
Dropping out of college allowed me the opportunity to explore Europe. The Northern Italian lake region offered this tableau of a young couple in love. You could easily replace them with Bob and Joan, as the scene is full of potential inspiration for cryptic and cloaked love songs. ]]> JESSE E. HILL - USA - 59
THIS IS MY CARFE OF MY LEG.]]> Joe Keeton - USA - Age: 53
I call this image, taken at a veteran's cemetary, "Beyond the Twisted Reach of Crazy Sorrow" after the lyric from Mr. Tambourine Man. Dylan often includes death imagery in his lyrics and I have felt that the phrase might be a description of the peace to be expected after death, whether one belives in an afterlife or not. The use of graves of American veterans to me also reflects the quintessentially American nature of Dylan's work. ]]> Johnny Barker - Australia - Age: 45
Bob said it. We’ve all been there.
"Someone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
You, you, you, you
Yeah, you got a hold of my heart." ]]> Johnny Barker - Australia - Age: 45
When I developed this photo of a man clutching his rosaries I thought of righteous Bob and the words from Precious Angel – "Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain’t no neutral ground."]]> Anon
Stay free from petty jealousies,
Live by no man's code,
And hold your judgment for yourself
Lest you wind up on this road."
From "I Am a Lonesome Hobo" – Biblical, wise and lyrical.
Bob Dylan. Def poet. ]]> Jonas Valthersson - Sweden - Age: 33
Dylan for me is freedom related & this song will be suitable...
I've just reached a place
Where the willow don't bend.
There's not much more to be said
It's the top of the end.
I'm going,
I'm going,
I'm gone. ]]> Kathy Jones - USA - 58
If I had to sum up Bob Dylan in one photo, it would be my attached shot of a full moon. The moon is my favorite subject to photograph… I think it’s the dreamer in me. I get the same kind of feeling from putting on a Dylan CD as when I gaze up at the moon on a crisp summer evening here in the mountains. It’s hard to categorize or define… but then so is the Ultimate Bob Dylan. There’s just no putting Bob in any kind of box. People have tried. They will never succeed, and I think that is a huge part of his magical, enigmatic appeal.]]> Kathy Jones - USA - 58

Knockin' On Heaven's Door
Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
I see the red clouds in the attached sunset photo as the wounded lawman's blood. Sunset signifies the feeling of death or dying. The beauty of a dramatic sunset represents a glimpse into what lies "beyond the sunset"... and peace in knowing it's going to be all right ]]> Kathy Jones - USA - 58
I think this photo is self-explanatory... "When the Night Comes Falling From the Sky']]> Laura Thompson - UK - age: 22
"There are pictures in poems and poems in pictures". The photograph is inspired/relates to the song Not Dark Yet, that is therefore how it relates to Mr Dylan. (I’m not very good at explaining what my art means... I prefer to let the piece do the talking...)]]> Marina Klingele - Germany - Age:23
2003 – I bought no concert ticket. I miss a life-time chance on a misty day which haunts me deeply… I'M ONLY BLEEDING. 2007 – My SUMMER DAYS as I have my first Dylan ticket. I soak up the songs and with TANGLED UP… I finally get my inner peace. I leave grown... ROLLING STONE. ]]> Mark Dethrow - USA - age:39
I painted this portrait trying to capture that "thin, wild mercury" feel that Bob Dylan was going for in 1966. That year the sound of his voice, harmonica and guitar, not to mention the WORDS, ( example: live versions of Visions of Johanna and Tell Me, Momma) were "otherworldly" ]]> Marc Ottiker - Germany - Age: 40

this photo is really literal. its a city that helped define dylans style and shape his music. its a feeling, an attitude, and a sound ]]> Matt Askins - USA - Age: 33
50 word max description: "Forever Young" This is a picture of Bailey (5) and Henry on the day Henry was born. Our children have the distinct advantage of knowing and loving the music of Bob Dylan from a very young age, and may their hearts always be joyful, may their song always be sung. ]]> Michele Talo - Italy - Age:47
The photo is made near Goteborg. I feel same part of the song "every grain of sand". Is the sunrise, in the same evening i'll attend at the concert. ]]> Mike Parker - England - Age: 57
This image of Bob is created from a carved halloween pumpkin created by the pumpkin artist Catherine de Gatacre in 2006. When first lit, the image amazed me as much as seeing Bob for the first time in Leicester 1966 ! ]]> Nacho Vázquez - Spain - Age: seventeen

The enclosed photo was taken in 1989 at a friend's house when her daughters asked that I take their photo in their party dresses. The LP of 'Another Side of Bob Dylan' was incidental to the photo but always seems important, as my friend was a great appreciator of Dylan's oeuvre ]]> Noel Mayeske - U.S.A.- 39
This photo is from my son's first concert ever -- Dylan's 2005 show in Savannah, Georgia. Dylan's music and my son's love of it are blowing in the wind in this photo!!]]> Robert Miles Wald - USA
REAL, SOUL. DRAMA. INDIVIDUALISM, SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE, HARD WORK, THE UNKNOWN, MAGNETIC, LOVE. Dylan's music has affected just about everything I do in my life including my photographs, therefore I feel this image visually represents, to me at least, the wide scope of Dylan's work. ]]> Roberto Moicano - Italy - Age: 29
Mistyc Dylan ]]> Suzanne Drew - Australia - 34 years old
Dylan has been a great inspiration for me. He gave me artisitic direction at a time in my life where I was feeling quite vulnerable and unsure of myself. He turned my life around and so I did a series of paintings of him. ]]> Suzanne Drew - Australia - 34 years old

Like this Midwest intersection, Dylan is the literary professor of the streets. He's like Rimbaud in Abyssinia, Woody in the Dust Bowl, Kerouac on the road. Dylan's neverending tour makes each stop the corner of Literary and Professor. Its where I like to get my literature fix. ]]> TJ Rode - USA
I am not sure how things are going but I have learned to love that place. I feel like I am standing on the edge of the world and I am about to jump off. I am understanding that to be an artist that has an impact you must be in love with chaos and trust that on the other side of chaos is something amazing. I believe in magic and I hate when people try and take the magic out of being an artist. I think its cool to be crazy. ]]> Ulf Johansen Krange - Norway - Age: 60
I recently made this artistic collage, putting together some elements from Dylan's songs and life comments. ]]> www.warchild.org

The photographs in the show illustrate what the music of Dylan personally means to each of the contributors – how they’ve connected with a particular song, the first time Dylan’s music came into their life that has always remained with them, or an interpretation of their favourite song in a picture. Each picture is an individual interpretation.

Armstrong and Aldrin are walking on the moon and I'm lost in the Sahara desert. A Tuareg nomad rescues me. He makes a fire rubbing two sticks together, then turns on a battered cassette player. Bob Dylan sings "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall". I get the idea to photograph each line of Dylan's extraordinary song.
It took 40 years, but now the exhibition and Bob Dylan's words are touring the planet - it will even be shown at United Nations headquarters in New York.
Hard Rain illustrates the issues that are defining the 21 century - climate change, habitat loss, pollution, poverty and human rights. There is now a widespread acknowledgement that human beings are changing the climate. But we are still in denial, and the implications of global warming hover just outside the grasp of our imagination. Perhaps Bob Dylan's piercing words and these photographs which conjure up a future too terrible to contemplate will help bring alive the problems that are ours to solve.]]> - - - - - -
