I just want to say, I love @gloriagaynor I first met her over 20 years ago in London and we did a live shoot and also did some shots around London too. Oh, we also shorter with two policemen who didn’t believe she was Gloria Gaynor! She was absolutely amazing and such a lovely lady and what a star!

I first photographed Bob Dylan in June 1978, when I toured with him. The last time was just before Covid, 2019 in London. He looked very happy here. I am writing about how I became his photographer in 1978. I will post more when I have release date! #BobDylan #Music #Poet #Genius #ACompleteUnknown

It’s lucky I am not flying anywhere today. London’s Heathrow airport (LHR) is closed due to major fire outage at the sub power station nearby. Now, I wonder where Vladimir Putin was last night at the time the fire started? I hope he has a good alibi! Just saying!

What a great shot by Ron Pownall of Bob Dylan. It was taken 4 years before I became Bob’s official photographer. What an amazing tour I was on then. It was ‘Street Legal’ & we started in the tour in the US Sept 1978. I was only 20 years old and on tour with Dylan! It was an amazing time! #BobDylan
