I almost shit in my underwear when I took this photo of John Lennon with Yoko and Ringo as they cruised into The Roxy for a Bob Marly concert in 1976! I will never forget that feeling!!
I was on a mission in 1976 to meet and photograph the reclusive Bob Dylan. I loved his music and he was my hero. My best pal, Rodney Bingheimer and I just happened to be hanging out at The Roxy when all of a sudden Dylan walks past us heading backstage. I snapped this photo of Rodney just at the precise moment Dylan passed! This kind of shit just does not happen anymore these days.
Actual never seen before EXCLUSIVE Travis T Mills photo that I took last night on the Sunset Strip. Many more T Mills photos on my Buzz Net page!
I want rock and roll attitude in my photos! Funny thing is that these guys in the The Maine, have no attitude. Just five normal cool dudes who adore their fans. I never saw anything like it before and it’s so refreshing.

I was unstoppable in the 70’s! If I was at The Roxy and I heard that a celebrity like Barbra Striesand was there, I made sure that I got the photo! If I wasn’t such a cute teenage kid, she would have made dam sure that this photo would have never been made!
My dear tumblr fans, one more Joni Mitchell photo before bedtime. This photo was taken as Joni left The Roxy in 1976, Yes, it is a paparazzi style photo, but she adored it. The photo was a double page in Music Life in Japan and without a shadow of a doubt this photograph will hang on the walls of MoMA in New York one day. Enjoy.
