Dee Dee Ramone

This is a rare photo of Dee Dee Ramone. Its not rare because it is of Dee Dee. It is rare because I hardly ever shot in color when I photographed bands. The Ramones, The Rolling Stones, SVT and The Patti Smith Group are the only bands I shot in color back in my film days. This image is a scan of an Ektachrome slide. It was shot with a Pentax Me and a 135mm Pentax Ashai lens. I shot the show in Black & White as well. You can view a few of those on Eclypso.com

Xmas Eve

This is a photo I ran across on a music blog somewhere along the line. It is a scan of an insert from a 45 rpm record (an e.p.) released in the 1980's (1982 I believe). The band is Xmas Eve - a Bay Area punk band. (Jerome Capers, Eric Capers and Bruce Rayburn).

Ok, the reason why I am posting this is because I took it. I am always proud and pleased to see some photo I took on the net. Who wouldn't be?

I have a lot of photos from that day in the California desert.
