Ture Lillegraven photo in Spin Magazine’s 2010 best photos round-up

Photographer Ture Lillegraven’s photo of the band, My Chemical Romance, was one of Spin Magazine’s featured pics for their year-end list, SPIN’s 20 Best Photos of 2010.

Photo Editor, Michelle Egiziano writes:
“Ture can handle anything with grace, creativity, and wit,” says Egiziano. “He delivers the most dynamic and engaging photos and the bands all love him. I’m not sure MCR knew what they walked into that day, but we had them mercilessly running up and down the side of a pool, rallying a jeep, and playing with a giant inflatable panda bear on a very warm California afternoon. Gerard, Ray, Mikey, and Frank were my heroes!”
