Milan Italy, July 5 1971. The band tried to play their first concert in Milan. It only lasted 23 minutes: Tear gas arrived on stage while they were playing Whole a Lot of Love

Alanis Morrissette in Austin, Texas, Aug 29, 1996. She walked me down by the river, under a bridge for the interview. At the end she gave me this smile. Her fisrt album went on to sell nearly 30 million copies.

Madonna in Atlanta, June 1987. “Who’s that Girl" tour. This photo became Italy’s September's PHOTO magazine cover. I had been hired by Warner to shoot her live concerts, but she did not wanted to see any photographers. So I left and for PHOTO I wrote a spicy story that the editor titled it: A Capricious Rock Star. September 1987 was Madonna first visit to Italy, the country of the family Ciccone.

GENESIS Seconds Out album cover outtake. This was shot at the last of the 3 Earls Court concert. Phil arrived with a drastic haircut. The album was recorded in Paris 10 days before, where Phil’s hair passed his shoulders. The band decided to go with Phil’s short hair, but this photo was nixed as Steve Hackett was well prominent. He had left the band two days before showing them photos for the album cover. They chose one similar, where you could not see Steve very well.

The Sex Pistols performing, their last gig ever, at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco, CA. January 14, 1978. Sid Vicious had just smashed a speaker with his bass guitar. I was there, as I wanted to record the end of mindless Punk!

Bob Marley reading my Genesis Book that I just published in the States. Tough Gong. Kingston. Jamaica May 26 1980. This photo became a painted mural on the wall of Trench Town Youth Center. Bob is now inspiring kids to read! Power of a photograph.
