“That’s one of my favorite live shots of him, because of the way his locks are flying and twirling. It’s like a helicopter blade. I love the beauty of that shot. He had this incredible ability to act out the songs when he performed. That’s why, for instance, when he played in a place like Japan, no one could understand a word he was – but they understood his expressions.”

“This is the first live shot I took of him. It was at the Speak Easy Club. That I call ‘Slave Driver’: ‘Ev’rytime I hear the crack of a whip/My blood runs cold/I remember on the slave ship/How they brutalize the very souls.’ He almost looks like a soul singer, a blues singer, to me.”

“This was taken at his house. Again, I never really needed to pose him. We just had this thing about us, the way we worked. What I love about this shot is the way he’s sitting and the way he’s got his foot on top of the rock. It’s very regal, almost like when you see a king put his feet up. A man in his kingdom.”
