I can not image what I was doing cutting school to catch this photo of Bob Dylan on his way into a recording studio in Santa Monica around 1978.
Here is another Dylan photo!
I am in the L.A Times today!

Thank you L’ Agence and thank you Ron Herman!
Yeah, my dream girl Teri Peterson Playmate taken in my kitchen in 1980. Teri is still beautiful some three decades later.
My first Japanese agent, Goro Kuramochi at a Duran Duran party back in 1982. I will be back in Tokyo the third week in November and speaking and showing my photos at Apple Store Ginza on November 27. Can not wait!
Bebe Buell adored Stiv Bators from The Dead Boys. I took these photos of the dynamic duo at a Blondie party held at Fiorucci in Beverly Hills around 1980. I have not seen Bebe in decades and the last time I saw Stiv was in Paris a couple of weeks before he was hit by the car.
Just back from Paris. I signed copies of my book “Like It Was Yesterday” at Colette, hung out with Intea at the Hotel Belle Rives in the South Of France, ate a bunch of great French food, drank everything and saw my pal The Cobra Snake. Life is amazing!
Yep, I took these Michael Jackson photos. It was 1978 and I was inside photographing Michael at the post Grammy party at the wonderful old Chasen’s Restaurant. This is the place where Frank Sinatra would pay fifty bucks for a bowl of Chili. The photos inside where boring and a bit too posed, but when I stepped outside with Michael, that is where all of the action happened. Best part is that there was no pain in the ass publicist or bodyguards to get in the way. Michael looked so dam elegant. Not only is he gone, but Chasen’s is now an overpriced supermarket! Go figure.
