Iconic rock photographer, Ross Halfin (pictured above), has announced that he's working on a new Queensrÿche book, focusing on the band's Operation: Mindcrime and Empire periods.
Halfin shared the news via a new diary entry on his official website, writing in part: "I’ve flown London to Los Angeles twice since the new year, went to Hawaii were the weather would cause amazing sunsets or pouring rain and even went up to Seattle for a day, and I can’t remember the last time I was there, but I do remember that it was absolutely freezing and cloudy and raining.
"The reason for the trip was that I’ve decided to work on a Queensrÿche book, particularly celebrating the Mindcrime and Empire periods and what great albums they are, and so for the first time in 27 years sat down with Mr Chris DeGarmo - which was very odd as to me it seemed like I’d seen him a week ago.
"It was so good to see him, he took me for a ride in his beta test model Tesla, and I said “why do you like this car?” and he put his foot down. It felt like we’d just taken off in a rocket, I was absolutely terrified. He stopped the car at the next traffic light and said “Are you okay?” - I said “Please don’t do that again” - he said “Ross - we were only going 22 miles per hour”."
