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 this exclusive portfolio. The message of this image remains true then and today. On your wall it will bring a smile each time you gaze at it.
