Rare Photos from Yesteryear

Angelina Jolie with Mom (Marcheline Bertrand) Dad (Jon Voight)
I'd love to know the true story behind her reasons not to have a relationship with Voight for all those years.  Kids always have good reason.

The Beatles before they were...from left - George (14), John (16) and Paul (15)
Classic. 
Marlon Brando

I wonder if he's posing for a shot or actually typing away...would love to see what's on that piece of paper.

Elvis Presley
Something tells me Elvis was a good guy.  Proof for me is during my Fathers' days as a music booker, he sat in Elvis' living room - he, the king and Colonel Parker - and was offered peanut butter and banana sandwich.  Dad always told me the story and always mentioned what a nice fella he was.

Marilyn Monroe

This image of Marilyn reminds me of a mix between Charlize Theron and Scarlett Johansson.

John Travolta
 Typical.

Star Wars Cast
Can you decipher who played Chewbacca and who played the ewok?  I am pretty sure the person standing next to Harrison played Darth Vader.

Madonna
 Striking a pose.  Something tells me Madonna struck many different poses.  Heals to Jesus anyone?

George Clooney
Wow.  Can you say "geek"?  Guess we all had some odd and bizarre phases.

"Happiest Baby"

"Happiest Baby"

Coney Island, New York, 2009.  Stacey and I decided to take a day trip to Coney Island with the baby.  She had just started smiling and I caught her taking in one of her first hearty laughs.  No teeth and nothing but happy...  The day was warm and humid but as new parents, we were taking it all in and unaffected by the heat.  Wonderful memories...

"Rene Collins"

"Rene Collins"

Last Spring, Rene Collins contracted me to shoot for what could be his next album cover image.  We decided that due to the nature of the album - no pun intended - that the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens would be the location.  Today, he informed me that it was this one (or another one that is 99% close to this - we shot several) that will grace the cover of his new album due out soon (release date TBD).

"Jewels"

"Jewels"
West Hampton, NY circa 2007.  Marc and Mel's daughter Julianna enjoying her first lolly pop.  We were at a friends kids' party and as we were leaving, I was witness to Julianna trying it.  Of course, there was a camera handy - our Canon Powershot pro-sumer - and I got this.  I took about 10 different shots to ensure I got this gorgeous kid with the green bushes and bright red lolly.
