Punk Turns 30

FLASH SALE - ALWAYS SHIPS FREE TO THE USA! FIRE SALE 🔥 Earlier this year, there was a fire at my apartment complex and its aftermath caused me to lose a lot of billable hours - and since this is my livelihood, THE FIRE SALE was born -- and because it is a win-win for me and for buyers, the FIRE SALE is a here-to-stay option.  Shipping to the USA is always free!  Here are the latest deals:    This 1980 image of Stiv Bators performing at the Whisky A GoGo was in a storage unit I had in Tribeca.  It survived Hurricane Sandy and as an image, it represents the survival and the Phoenix.  I think it is as cool as it's scar left by water that embedded itself between the slide and its plastic page protector. This is an 11x14 print on metallic finished paper . $65 - free US shipping If you're outside the USA, please email me about shipping  To purchase, click ---> here    You may have heard about the LEGENDARY DISGRACELAND VOODOO GODDESS SESS...

 I always joke about "punk rock's greatest hits," but we have them! My own "greatest hit" is the portrait of The Cramps in the Tropicana.  It's the cover of SHINDIG! Magazine's August 2026 issue.  You can own a print - click -> here <- for the various sizes available  I also have a photo book of most of the images from the Tropicana.    You can get your signed copy -> here <-   No Punk Rock Greatest list is complete without The Ramones.  I made a photo book of all the images from their Whisky a GoGo show of February 16, 1977.   You can get your signed copy -> here <-   BOOKMARK this page - more images coming.

  I've been inspired by so many punk-era photo books. Mine's in the pipeline.  If I were writing for a magazine, this is how I'd preview it: The attraction of this project is that it is a photographic memoir.   In addition to its potential of being an elegant coffee table picture book, Adventures of an Unchaperoned Teenaged Girl charts the explosive living history of the birth and growth of the original Los Angeles punk scene. Along with the photographer-author’s iconic images in their full glory and as featured on album covers and editorial pages, Adventures will also share images from the time, ranging from tour posters, backstage passes, zines, news clippings, and ads to complete the presentation of an era in rapid transformation.   Adventures ’ visual wonderland punctuates punk’s as well as the author’s many milestones.

Punk Turns 30 Has a Substack Too     That's right.  I started it a while ago and then realized there are things you can do via the app and things you can't.  I promise that this website and the Substack will not be 100% duplicates of each other. At the moment, I am taking this quiet time between the holidays of Christmas and New Years to find and organize all the rest of the slides and negatives I did not get around to scanning during my 2022 Christmas break.  And then I had a medical episode that both derailed (my momentum) and focused me. There were a couple months where all I could do was lie down. I watched a lot of Food Network, and wrote down a lot of projects. The next art project will be completing the HOW TO WRITE SONGS tiles - yes, inspired by Elvis C. and his HOW TO PLAY GUITAR AND Y More on that later, but for now, I leave you with this - I did several iterations because Elvis also contains multitudes.
