At the Purple offices with publisher Olivier Zahm in New York this afternoon.
My Maison Kitsune Spring 2012 shoot directed by Andre Saraiva with Chelsea Schuchman and Braydon Szafranski photographed at the Chateau Marmont Hotel, Los Angeles. More photos on Purple Diary!
It had been over 30 years since a teenage Sex Pistol, Steve Jones had a wank in my swimming pool and it was time for an encore. Back in the day the photo session was done for all the cool magazines that I worked with in Japan, UK, German and of course Creem magazine in the USA. This time around I knew that it would be perfect for my good friend Olivier Zahm at Purple magazine in Paris. So three decades later, you can see all of the swimming pool action past and present today on Purple DIary. My only regret is that Olivier was not there partying with us on the Sunset Strip with in 1977!
Thank you Purple magazine for publishing my photograph of Tearist in their Purple Diary. Life is grand! Enjoy your weekend. xo, brad
