Dale Ryder, Boom Crash Opera 1991 Dale Ryder is the singer and a songwriter for Boom Crash Opera. We did a few sessions round this era and he was happy to sit for some portraits in my lounge room, a venue I often used for my work at thetime. The lyrics on this image are a song he wrote called Superheroes. The image itself, and the emotion of the song, inspired me to complete thephoto as you see it here.
