Michael Jackson’s passing was the death heard round the world. Michael’s music touched so many people in so many ways, we couldn’t help but pay tribute to to star. This photo was taken on the sidewalk at the old Chasen’s Restaurant in 1978. RIP Michael.

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.

Enjoy this Buzz Foto classic from 1979 shot of Michael Jackson and Tatum O’Neal dancing in a Beverly Hills bank vault photographed in black and white. Go check out some of our early work at the Moss Gallery inside the new and stylish SLS Hotel in Los Angeles!

A Tribute to Michael

There’s something stark and solemn about a black and white foto, and coupled with the subject, it’s a foto that will remain memorable. The Apollo Theater in Harlem honored the late Michael Jackson with a a memorial tribute at 5:26pm (the time he died) in New York City, New York. The marquee outside reads: “A moment of silence to honor Michael Jackson, 5:26pm, 6/30/2009.

We Will Always Remember Michael

When we started out in the photo business some three decades ago we were all teenagers just out for a laugh and a shout with a camera in hand. All us were aspiring journalists, photographers, actors and musicians. We all knew each other and partied and danced together. Michael was always around. Yes he was very shy, but he was right there on the scene. Leif, Tatum, Michael and of course Rodney Bingenheimer was responsible for putting it all together. How can we forget one day in Malibu when Michael was asking Leif for some dating tips! You really had to be there for that one. Everyone went off in different directions and the last time we saw Michael was in 1982. We will never forget those magical days and memories. We hope that you will enjoy these photographs.
