The great and mind-bogglingly prolific author Edmund White. I shot this during 1989 International Festival of Authors in Toronto, the first time I heard him read. From thereon I read all of his books in his voice, colouring them with more depth and a conspiratorial salaciousness. RIP #edmundwhite

Dallas’s absence feels so profound some days. Missing him every day but particularly having him in mind and heart on this rainy, blustery 52nd anniversary of his birth. #dallasgood #dallasgoodforever

It was nice knowing you when you when there were many things about you that were great, USA. I’m so sorry for how they’re desecrating your corpse.

From a session I did with The Sadies in the summer of 2016. So many of these have never been seen. I feel so fortunate to have so many pics of Dallas with the band. @thesadiesofficial #thesadies

From the first moment I saw the New York Dolls perform Trash on the Midnight Special, 1973, I was forever changed. I shot these at the El Mo for Johansen’s 1978 debut. May the cosmos absorb and continue to reflect your greatness, David Johansen. With eternal gratitude. #newyorkdolls #davidjohansen
