Genesis early days. First ever shot of Genesis. Plumstead, East London. We just had an interview over lunch in a coffee shop near their rehearsal room at The Inferno Club. Phil wasnt with us. He had just joined us with thge new music paters, complaining that Genesis was ignored, again. "And we have an Italian here who cares?" he joked. This is how we became friends. Trust and Rispect.

Bob Marley photographed at Island House, Hope Street, Kingston, Jamaica, the Morning of May 26 1980. The colors on both side of his face are caused by the camera accidentally opening up and the film being briefly exposed.
This slide stayed on my lightbox for months. When Bob passed away, one year later, the accident became a gift.
Bob's look carries the poetry of “Redemption Song”. A spiritual painting of Bob Marley’s legacy – Kissed by the Sun.
