Peter Fonda and BREAKING NEWS- actual rain in L.A.


The Washington Post assigned me to photograph the legendary Peter Fonda , one of the coolest of any celebrity I have ever worked with, totally down to earth and he's a photography buff . The time he spent chillin with the The Beatles , inspired the John Lennon's song "She Said, She Said" and Peter starred in Easy Rider , it doesn't get much better than that in my book. The actual shoot was great because it was just Peter and I in the room , 15 minutes with no publicists or anybody to distract us. That usually makes for nice pictures . I set up some lights , but I like the photos using natural light from the window the best. Much needed rain in drought stricken So Cal , a real good soaking with so much polluted water draining into the ocean that health officials warned people to stay out of the water , making it even dirtier than normal. The strange thing is that it never rains like this in September , today it is back to 70 degree temps and perfect weather. The Pacific Wheel on the Santa Monica Pier is the world's first Solar Powered Ferris Wheel , and is shown with residual clouds from the storm passing by.
