In 1975 Dutch journalist Constant Meijers slept on my couch in LA for six weeks. He used me as his photographer for his magazine OOR. We did interviews, sound-checks, concerts, parties, and more in those intense six weeks. The Dutch had a knack for finding great American acts before they made it big on their […]
In April 1977 on a sunny spring day, some music journalists and myself were invited to join Fleetwood Mac on a boat touring the harbor in Rotterdam. The press tour was to promote their latest album, Rumors. Warner Brothers and the band expected it to do better than their previous release, Fleetwood Mac. Little […]
A couple of years after I had moved to Holland, I heard through the grapevine that The Police were going to be in Amsterdam for a performance on Rock Planet. I’d heard great things about them through Cream magazine, but they were not a well-known act yet. As I entered the studio, So Lonely was blaring through the studio speakers as the band […]
While sifting through my slides and negatives to scan for my website, I stumbled upon my negatives of a Pink Floyd concert taken some forty years ago. I was amazed to see them and rather happy with some of the pictures. I don’t recall much of the concert, except for the colossal cloud of smoke […]

In 1975, I was at The Roxy in Los Angeles seeing the Tubes. They had an unusual stage show and a lot of celebrities were in the crowd to see it. Amongst them were Ringo Starr and his drinking buddy Harry Nilsson. After the show, the crowd shuffled through the exit while the VIPs were whisked […]
Elton John is starting his 300 date farewell tour in September. However, farewell tours have always had a dubious quality to them. Or as Neil Young puts it, ‘”I’m not coming back.”What kind of bullshit is that?’ I first shot Elton in Los Angeles in 1975 while he received his star on the Hollywood […]
March 29th marks the 50th anniversary of a staple in the Amsterdam music scene. After 50 years and over 26,000 events, the Paradiso in Amsterdam has a storied history and countless classic rock photography tales to tell. This is one of mine. It was January of 1978. A Dutch record company had reserved a space […]
The fascination with David Bowie seems unending as the Morrison Gallery has decided to extend its exhibition of the artist’s portraits and trappings. The exhibit, simply titled Bowie, is a decades-long compilation of the renowned artist’s many phases and faces. Variety recently wrote an article about the extension and used my photo as their opener for the announcement. […]
ABBA TO REUNITE When I moved to Holland and started photographing pop groups, I would call the Avro Toppop studios every week to ask who was coming to the show. The first time they told me Abba was coming into the studio, I thought that I would pass as I was not a fan. […]
ELVIS COSTELLO CD COVER 2013 I was driving around in Hilversum, Holland (The Netherlands) one day in 1977 and heard Elvis Costello performing live on the local radio. When they mentioned where this live program was taking place, I drove over to the studio, which was actually a barn with a small audience. I […]

I have withheld this photo from publication for many years. Recently it was used in the 2013 released documentary HISTORY […]
