The Ramones were friends of mine and they always made time for me to take their photos during their stays in Los Angeles. Joey was a special friend. He was incredibly shy and a beautiful soul. One day in 1978, Danny Fields their brilliant manager invited me to take photos and hang out with the band at The Sunset Marquis. Hotel photos are fine, but I had a keen eye for the corner of Sunset and Alta Loma with the signage and all. It was all about capturing a cool moment back then. It still is today.
