A photo by Cinema Retro photographer Mark Mawston has
been chosen by legendary director John Carpenter and his wife, producer Sandy
King, as the cover shot for his latest Blu-ray, "Behind The Scenes" which covers
the director's live performances on his world tours. The image first appeared in
a report in the pages of Cinema Retro. As Mark says “ I left the front of the
stage and went up to the front of the circle above the stage. I spent more time
than usual making sure that John was in focus and that the dry ice surrounding
him took on an ethereal look. I sent this off to Retro and to Sandy with the
title "The Fog", for obvious reasons. It’s always a thrill when one of your
heroes uses your images for an album or Blu-ray cover”.
