A boy and his dog, Part One.
“ If I could talk”, says Ice, the Red Nose Pit-bull, “I would lay down the law, Daddy!” “No sleepin outside, some fine steak instead of this sh*tty dry food, plenty of open grassy places to p**p and, daddy.. Bring me some bitches!” “You lucky I just grunt as I pull my 100 pounds offa the Granite.”

There is an actual story behind this image and I am certain to make one up.
In a place filled with dozens of people, fashion consultant, Elizabeth Saltzman, is guaranteed to be the most fun person in the room. Her funny, cheerful energy is like a lightening rod of excitement. This image captures just a fraction of a second of what Elizabeth is famous for. If an event is dreary or boring, Ms. E is certain to turn that mood on its head.
While in rehearsals for an upcoming episode of his new TV series Nash Bridges, set in San Francisco, Keith Barish, the executive producer of “Sophie’s Choice” and owner of Planet Hollywood, steps in as Cheech Marin’s character, who was unavailable, and clasps his hand over DJ’s face! “Did I do it right?” Keith asks Don Johnson. “Well, Keith, let me put it to you this way..That’s the last time I give you one of my suits from Miami Vice!”

We were invited to cover a book party for Doubleday, the prestigious book publisher. Mrs. Onassis was a super elegant, and sophisticated individual. Whenever I had the luck to be in the same room with Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, the former First Lady, there was always a receiving line. If the First Lady was in attendance or hosting an event, organizers would schedule a formal line of introduction. As a photographer, these were difficult shoots. I was always photographing the back of someone’s head. Most of these were VIPs. But when Ms. Onassis hosted, all cameras were trained on her. This weekend would have been her 96th Birthday. Had she not been diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma, lots of things would have been different in this world. Consider that RFK needed the ok from Jackie to run for President. Or if she were alive, JFKJr. Would have been told to “stand down” from flying on that awful night. “It’s too soupy, John, go in the morning”, she would have told him. Jack was too young to really know his Grandmother, but he has been indoctrinated by family and History to her greatness and benevolence. The Grand Central Station would have been demolished without Onassis and one of my favorite places in New York, The Frederic Edwin Church estate would likely have become a Cracker Barrel without her charity and support. We followed her because of obvious reasons, i.e. Bill Cunningham, and hundreds of other designers, she was a fashion Icon. Just one layer of a very faceted human being. So it goes.
I think they should name the Kennedy Center after this First Lady…

Super Famous Designer Diane Von Furstenberg and Vogue Style Archetype, Hamish Bowles appear before my camera, like magic, while great photographer Todd Eberle makes some adjustments. If you are any of these folks, Canon will throw equipment at you at no cost. “Here”, a Canon rep would say, as he hands a very expensive camera to Diane. “We would love to see photos made by DvF”! “DvF, ( who is wealthy enough to own the company) takes some lovely photos at this Gala. I tell Diane, “do you realize that Donald Trump is killing poor people?” She responds.. “We will chair a Gala!”

Out of the blue. A photo of William J.
Bill passed 9 years ago on June 25th. This iconic street and fashion photographer is missed everyday. He was an National Treasure. This was taken outside of Bergdorf’s in NYC during fashion week. BC was being celebrated by the store.
This is when Bill gave me his private phone number. In exactly three months, Bill would transition from a film Camera to digital and I had offered to travel with him to the camera store to help him pick out a decent digital camera. He was very happy using his Nikon FM2 for his work, they were inexpensive and sturdy. Unfortunately, the photo lab downstairs from his office at the NYTimes was closing its doors, so he had to make the change. When he picked up a new Nikon with a small pop-up flash. He mentioned that it reminded him of starting out with a half-frame camera. He loved the “Half-frame”, because it gave him 72 images. This was important when shooting a runway show. Not stopping to change rolls of film in the middle. Digital photographers never even give it a second thought, that we were limited by a roll of 36 exposure film with the correct color balance, God forbid we miss a look as the talent marched up and back on the catwalk.
“So it goes..” Vonnegut used to say.

Throwback Thursday: Our Rockin Octogenarian. Happy Birthday (7/1)Deborah Harry!
We are so happy to have her, not only still around, but touring and performing! God Bless!
I was able to make this image some decades ago and it was pure luck!
During a very, very brief dip in Blondie’s popularity, I caught up with Deborah, as she opened for David Weintraub, the popular sales associate and excellent lead guitarist inside Sam Ash’s 48th Street music store. My flash went off just as she was going into “The Tide is High” Blondie’s cover of the song by the Paragons. Time really flies, It feels like it was just yesterday, I was ordering a Rum and Coke from her at “Max’s Kansas City”.
