Interview with me just posted on Live Fast.
I dug my photo of Olivia Netwon John with John Travolta at the Grease party out of the Brad Elterman archives for my exhibition at Kana Manglapus Projects. You can see this photo in person and even purchase a limited edition signed print! The exhibition runs though September 10.
I remember clearly taking this photo of John Travolta and Olivia Newton John at the Grease party in 1978. I was just a punk teenage kid with a camera and a couple of rolls of film! Thank you WWD for the story!
I was the one who got Travolta to kiss Olivia Newton John smack on the lips at the Grease premiere in ‘78.
Back in 1978 I was one of only a few photographers photographing the Grease opening night party at Paramount Studios. Travolta was so young and photogenic. The next morning, I hustled these photos out to magazines all over the world!
I am blown away by how popular my photo of John Travolta and Olivia Newton John at the Grease party in ‘78 has been on tumblr! It was just me John, Livy, a few hundred invited guests, three publicists and one other photographer shooting over my shoulder.
