“Shooting in my studio had its advantages, and it was a controlled environment; what I didn't want was a contrived environment. I shot fast, knowing it would add to the spontaneity; either I got the photographs or not, there was no sense in stopping. And then, for a few brief moments, Bruce leaned on Clarence, and we all sensed the electricity. Afterward, we walked out side to a fire escape where the midday sun was casting shadows against a wall. […] In two hours of magic, Bruce and Clarence mirrored the emotions and poses they carried on stage each night, and they helped me capture those moments before they left gravity behind.”
