I am back in Los Angeles. Thank you for all of the great feedback while I was in Tokyo. Look forward to seeing everyone at my book signing this Thursday at LEADAPRON in Los Angeles.
I just dug up this classic Debbie Harry photo from back in 1977 when Blondie made their first appearance in Los Angeles. Debbie was arriving at an award show and the photographers did not know what to make of her!
Joan Jett and Sandy West of The Runaways live on! Debbie Harry too!! I just picked up the November issue of Los Angeles Magazine with a full page article on my new book “Like It Was Yesterday”. I am looking forward to seeing everyone at my book signing at LEADAPRON on Melrose Place in Los Angeles on December 2.
Debbie Harry fans! Check out my interview on Camerabag.tv!

I really do not miss photographing concerts. Just not all that challenging and of course there are no real icons to photograph. these days Nothing like taking photos of a legend like Debbie Harry. I took this back in 1978 when Debbie and Blondie filmed The Midnight Special over at NBC Studios in Burbank.
My coffee table book, “Like It Was Yesterday” will be released this fall!

Wow! I have not seen this photo of mine in over 30 years. I took this Debbie Harry photograph in Hollywood around 1978. If anyone has the original print or slide, I would love to get a copy. No questions asked!
I fucking love this photo of Debbie Harry backstage at The Whiskey A Go Go taken in 1977. It’s wild that I still remember the stench of the Whiskey dressing rooms. It was kind of smelled like a combo of puke and piss. Funny how you never forget these kind of details.

I hope that I am not appearing a bit vain, but I really want to share this photograph of me with a beautiful Debbie Harry taken backstage an a Los Angeles awards show in 1978. Check out her cool dress! I can not believe that I am actually wearing a tie at a rock and roll awards show.
