Frank Zappa

Los Angeles
1976

My early days of shooting were very ‘trial and error’. I was exploring how to get artists to let go. Standing opposite Frank I asked him “How far are you willing to go”? He looked at me and almost sneered, “Anywhere you want to go.” So we hit him in the face with a pie. Big mistake. We got cream in his ear and he was not pleased. In the end we hit it off and I worked with Frank multiple times after that.
