Cool photos from the 70's and today!
In 1982 Madonna made her first visit to Los Angeles at The American Music Awards. This was a big deal and I was shooting for the Dick Clark, the shows producer. This permitted to stand anywhere I wanted. I could have stood in the front room and got the standard mugging for the camera photo with the corporate background in the photograph, but that is not what I was after. I wanted something cool and special.  Photo by Brad Elterman

    The look on Madonna’s face says “I know exactly what I’m doing.” Total 80s boss.
  4. jugsntugs said: This couldn’t be 1982, her first single came out in 09/83. The show was in January, so maybe 1984? She wasn’t nominated until ‘85. I Like the photo.
