Return To Troubadour Twenty Five Years Later

Finally after a long 25 year absence, we made it back to our regular stomping grounds, Doug Weston’s Troubadour. Back in the seventies we were the the closet thing to the house photographer there taking shots for the bands and the record companies. The list of talent we saw and photographed was endless and it included Carly Simon, Joni Mitchell and Elton John. We saw John Lennon at the bar more than once.

There were these tables all over the floor and you would sit and have dinner and of course the coconut glace for dessert. Carly Simon loved the glace.

Back around 1978 we received a call from either RCA or Atlantic Records to photograph this new band called Hall And Oats. They were amazing and we did a photo session with them in the dressing room and hung out at the intimate party.

Since we did this gig for the record company, we had to kiss goodbye our negatives and looking back, that was a big mistake ( TOLD YA SO). We kept some prints and that was it. Hey we got two hundred bucks for the evening and that was a goldmine back then, plus we saw a great show and had a free booze tab. Live and learn.

So this week Hall and Oats returned to The Troubadour and we where there for both nights. Talk about a cosmic performance and evening. So surreal just to walk in there again and to see friends from three decades ago including in crowd writer director Cameron Crowe.

We were there with Rachael Stevens and had a total blast. Bob Emmer from Shout Factory was there documenting the entire evening. Afterward everyone headed over to Dan Tanas, just like in the old days.

The fotos were taken with our iPhone! From black and white film to iPhones. So surreal!

Paris Adores Casch Copenhagen!

Paris Hilton was at the Scandinavian Style Mansion party last night at Sharon Stone’s house in Beverly Hills. She spent a great deal of time with the always charming Carsten Schlamovitz, owner of Casch Copenhagen checking out his latest exciting collection.

Thank you Rachie Stevens for the lovely fotos!

Two Frappuccinos 2 Go

Rachel Stevens can’t make up her mind? Rachel Stevens goes to Starbucks and picks up two frappuccino drinks to go, and then she goes to the Coffee Bean to meet a mystery male companion where they have a drink in West Hollywood, CA. Rachel Stevens and her mystery companion were all smiles for the camera. As they left the coffee place, they gave each other a friendly first date hug and kiss on the cheek.
