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.

Clem Burke during and after. I shot these at the El Mocambo, in 1978, for Blondie’s Plastic Letters tour. Thank you, Clem ❤️ @officialblondiefan.bsky.social #clemburke

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
