Celebrities like Frank, Dean and Sammy do not exist today so it is a good thing we have this prolific photo of Frank Sinatra in the archives of BuzzFoto’s Brad Elterman. Brad saw Frank around town at parties and restaurants only a couple of times, always surrounded by rather large bodyguards. He had heard a rumor that there was a press conference for him at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Back then, if you heard about it and showed up, it was no problem. You could never do that today. Brad arrived early, got the free breakfast and sat in the front row to get this totally amazing photograph. You know how many photographers were there? About six. Incredible. Today there would be hundreds. Frank left the press conference alone, except for the driver of a rather unflashy station wagon. He was very cooperative that afternoon because he was trying to sell something: a fight at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. Watch out if you tried to photograph him when he had nothing to sell!

Buzz Foto Iconic: We Never Forget Our Friends

The most difficult part of the photo business is getting started and making connections. Back in the mid seventies we befriended Rodney Bingenheimer and we were best of buddies for years. Rodney knew everyone plus is was an editor at Phonograph Record Magazine he got invited to all of the hot parties. Rodney made all of the introductions to us with all of the record company PR so we were there being wined & dined too, while we were taking the most amazing photos. We had a blast and we are still great friends today.

Here is the best Rodney story. Did you know that he got to meet Frank Sinatra in Las Vegas? Well he did and guess who made the introduction? ELVIS!!! Oh Yeah, that is Elvis’s belt that Rodney is holding!!
