Location: Dream Street | My dad actually developed a lot of these pictures.
Kinda funny story.
In the 80's when I was in jr High and High school I used to buy Faces, Hit Parader, Circus etc. Mark Weiss was the photographer for so many of the pictures. I eventually went to work for my dad from time to time and I learned the business. Processing/developing C41 & E6. Running proofs, dupes etc...One day i saw a bunch of pics consisting of Henry Rollins, Prince, Eric Clapton, Allman Brother, Flea, Bon Jovi...oh and the entire Moscow Peace Festival. Every week I'd see tons of stuff come thru.
I was like, dad, what the hell is all this? He tells me it's from Mark Weiss. Been a client and dropping off film for years. My jaw dropped(here I could get anything I wanted from my dad's lab and I'm out buying the shit). But of course, unlike Playboy, I actually did read the articles. So gave me a little solace for the one's I bought. But how about ALL those pics (24-36 frames on each roll) that I COULD'VE got my hands on!!! Oh well.
Anyway, next time Mark came in my dad grabbed me to say hello. And then years later I bumped into him backstage at a TSO concert at Madison Square Garden. He took a pic of my custom painted Come Out and Play jacket. |
