KINDA WEIRD SEEING MY PICTURE ON NETFLIX

Back in 2022, I was asked to supply pictures of Devo for a documentary by Sam at Library films. Great guy, by the way. Honestly, I sort of forgot about it. Until I saw my picture pop up on Netflix. The documentary is aptly called “Devo” and shows the evolution…

MY PICTURE USED AT THE ALICE COOPER CONCERT

During the Alice Cooper concert that I went to, much to my delight, I saw one of my pictures was used during the song “Under my wheels”. In the picture, Alice sits atop his Rolls Royce. I took this shot while visiting his home in L.A. back in the ‘70s.…

STARS IN THE CAR

Every time I saw Barry Hay of Golden Earring, I would say “Hey, Barry”. And he’d go “Hey, Barry!”. Which made everybody laugh. I was very sad to hear about the passing of their guitar player, George Kooymans, recently. His illness meant the end of Golden Earring, because the other…
