This could have been one incredible photograph and I fucked it up. That is Debbie Harry from Blondie at some awards show at The Hollywood Palladium in 1977. I wanted to make a photo of Debbie surrounded by the sea of photographers. To make a great photograph, she really needed to be closer to the dog pack and what really pisses me off is that I chopped off her fucking feet!

Remember my friends and fans, composition is everything and you do it in the camera and not in PhotoShop! Thank you for supporting my work. I am having the time of my life!

Pete Towsend of The Who is god. That is me standing next to god at a post Who concert at Flippers in Los Angeles around 1978.

Rock god Jimmy Page a post concert party for The Faces party in Los Angeles back in 1976. I never saw so many stars in one evening. At one table alone was Bob Dylan, Cher, Greg Allman, Joni Mithcell and Paul McCartney. I only wish that I had owned a wide angle lens back then!

Here is another photo of Kristen and Dakota that I took last weekend at the party for The Runaways film at Sundance. Such a striking look to these two!

This 1977 photo of Cherie Curie from The Runaways is posed in front of my first car! I saved every dime from early photo sales to purchase this Mercedes. I think it was a 1974 that I bought second hand from a nice little old lady.

This is one of my first live concert photos that I took of The Rolling Stones in Los Angeles in 1975. I think it was also one of my very first photo passes. I just scanned it for the first time and it has never been seen or published before.
