Mick Jagger and David Bowie Official #ShotByRock at Café Royal - London, 1973

“A camera is a wonderful ally. It requires minimal maintenance and provides entry to a world of endless imagery. Follow the frame, says I.”

Dead Boys - 1979

Let the picture open its silver nitrate throat and shriek. Like an electric guitar. Delight in the power to enslave the glorious moment. And never second guess.”

John Cameron Mitchell as Hedwig — #shotbyrock in 2001

“When I was younger, I spent a lot more non-shooting time with people like David, Lou, Syd and Freddie… these were friends of mine. We were all similar ages, so it was a different kind of experience. So I have a certain affection for the early characters.”

Happy Birthday Iggy Pop!!! 🎂

“You want more than just a pretty picture. You want something as strong as the music. A great photo should be like a hit single, something that keeps drawing you back for another look.”

“It’s an energy thing. At the height of the moment, I say assassin because that’s what I feel like when I’m gonna take you out. I want that feeling.”
