We Partied With Michael & Tatum!

Back in the day in the seventies Buzz Foto was photographing the stars with film. Yes hard to believe it, but yes it is true. We had to have two cameras with us at all times. One for color and the other for black and white. Shooting color was always a very expensive proposition and it took at least one day to get the film processed. We were then faced with making duplicate slides and expensive prints. Then we had the taske of mailing or air freighting our photos to our magazine and newspaper clients in over thirty countries. Keep in mind that this was way before the days of FedEx. The good part is that there was practically zero competition and no one in the industry knew anything about photo syndication and could not fathom that you could make money with your photos in Europe, Australia and Japan. We of course were on our own mission.
