About the photo

Early in Devo's career, Ebet met up with the band to photograph them in the streets of New York. They encountered the busker with the sandwich board on 5th Avenue. She quickly captured the photograph of the band with him and the sign he wore, catching everyone at the right moment, even the passerby with her ice cream cone could not have made a better cameo appearance. Years later, the band reached out to Ebet to bring this image into the portfolio. The message remains true then and today. It will bring a smile each time you gaze at it.

Ebet Roberts is a renowned photographer whose work captures the essence of music's most iconic moments and artists. After graduating from the Memphis College of Art, Roberts moved to documenting the vibrant punk scene of the late '70s, including legendary artists like Iggy Pop,
