This is a little bit beside the point, but I'm stilling trying to wrap my head around all the references to photography/photo shoots in the ODP lyrics. Hanover Camera is a decent starting point, simply because "camera" is in the title.
Who's being photographed/filmed? Why? And where?
* There's all the stuff about the lighting made it look like she was captured/a hostage in Hanover Camera
* The hand over the lens
* The lens cap in Riptown ("The lens cap was losted so they stretched out the shoot")
*...then revealing that this might be about shooting movies, not taking photographs ("The director's distracted, he's losing his light/ the actors are wrapped up in robes for the night).
As I said, I don't know what to make of this. There's plenty of throwbacks to the rest of the catalog here. Holly seemingly going to California to do porn, the whole metaphor of actors/making movies (Slapped Actress, but also Sketchy Metal, Eureka, Spectres and probably others I forgot), Mary's "moving pictures" in The Swish, Both Crosses etc. But that's all connected to, yes, moving pictures - films, video, movies. I guess everything about the lens cap, the lighting and the "hostage" thing in Hanover Camera
Yeah, this is really interesting! I can totally see Craig (who seems pretty into film) pair this up with the drug meaning of "losing his light".
