Brooklyn-based photographer Henry Hargreaves used a Flemish painting style to capture the bizarre, slightly neurotic food and drink demands of stars from everyone to Beyonce to Frank Sinatra. The requests, outlined in a document called a "rider," range from slightly weird (McDonald's cheeseburgers without the bun) to outrageous (hand-sorted M&Ms, "absolutely no brown ones").
Henry explained his decision present the requests in this style: "The idea to show them in a Flemish Still Life manner was because we felt that there was a direct connection between the themes in the paining of time passing and mortality with the musician's time in the fading limelight and the short span they would have to be able to make these demands and have them fulfilled."
Well, that's all fine and dandy, but this is really working up our appetite for fresh Wonder Bread with Dom Perignon…typical.
