Gia Carangi was a shooting star...quite literally! This photo was from my very first photo shoot with Gia, for Vogue, July 1978 (the shoot date). The image is somewhat soft and grainy (due to it’s being a large blowup of a small image and because I worked to emphasize the grain Gia quickly rose to super star status as a model. But, just a few years later she became addicted to drugs and her life began a downward spiral. I worked with Gia only in 1978 and 1979. She was always lovely…full of life. full of fun and unpredictably spontaneous. Gia was one of, perhaps, two or three of the most inventive models I worked with in some fifty years of photograhing women. By inventive I mean that she would adapt to a situation and cast herself in a role that fit the shoot. If you look at photos of Gia by different fashion photographers you can see how she would take on a persona to fit the situation. Gia was a delight to work with. She died at the age of 26 from complications caused by AIDS. The writer, Stephen Fried, wrote a book about Gia, Thing of Beauty—The Tragedy of Supermodel Gia. To this day there is a huge following of Gia fans. This has been one of my most popular images of Gia.

Space Invaders is an arcade video game designed by Tomohiro Nishikado in 1978. It was originally manufactured by Taito and licensed for production in the U.S. by the Midway division of Bally. Initially released in its native Japan in 1978, it ranks as one of the most influential video games ever created. Though simplistic by today’s standards, it was one of the forerunners of modern video gaming.

/ This was me sometime back in late 78. I had left my old job in a timber yard where I was earning £45 a week for a new job working on a building site on Oxford Street as a labourer for £75 a week. It was mega-bucks at the time. The only problem with the job was that my glorious hair (not back-combed – that’s just how it looked when brushed down), which came halfway down my back when wet and in natural ringlets, would get full of bits of brick and cement and I just couldn’t get it out. The hair or the money? The hair or the money? The hair or the money? The money won and I had to say good bye to the hair. Before visiting the barber, I went to Harrow-on-the-Hill station to use the photo machine so I could have this shot of my crowning glory for posterity (and to look at and lament on cold winter nights). The removal of all this insulation was a great shock! I couldn’t believe how cold the head could get. I decided to get a hat and the choice I had was between a blue bobble hat or a trilby. I went with the trilby and I still wear a version of it to this day – see profile pic. Featured in the Self Portrait group, 12th Nov ‘08.

Part of a project I did in Tokyo where we found complete strangers and got them involved in light painting. We met this guy in Harajuku. He was really proud of his American car which was a ‘78 Monte Carlo jacked on hydraulics. The color lights in the back were done by hand by his ‘crew’. Info: Shot with a Canon 400D through a 17-85mm lens. The lights in the back are LEDs and cathodes. The ‘fiz-iks’ logo is also light and is done with a soft box, a stencil, and a flash. This image is straight out of the camera with no editing or post processing.

My first adventure in Wonderland, many years ago, an homage to a poem and an image that had captivated my imagination for many years. This is based on the original illustrations from the first edition of ‘Through the Looking Glass…’ `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves / Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: / All mimsy were the borogoves, / And the mome raths outgrabe. “Beware the Jabberwock, my son! / The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! / Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun / The frumious Bandersnatch!” He took his vorpal sword in hand: / Long time the manxome foe he sought— / So rested he by the Tumtum tree, / And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, / The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, / Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, / And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through / The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! / He left it dead, and with its head / He went galumphing back. “And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? / Come to my arms, my beamish boy! / O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!’ / He chortled in his joy. `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves / Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; / All mimsy were the borogoves, / And the mome raths outgrabe. / (from ‘Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There’ by Lewis Carroll, 1872 with original illustrations by Sir John Tenniel)

It is going to be a close thing as to whether the shed collapses completely before all the hay is used, or the growing grass means the heap of hay can hold the shed up another year. Maintenance is required
