Join us in wishing a very happy birthday to Debbie Harry!

Mick believed her to be “a timeless beauty who remains to this day the most photogenic subject the rock music scene has ever produced.”

“People haven’t really seen this one. I think it deserves an outing!”

“I didn’t set out to become a photographer. I just pointed a camera and talked, and that worked.”

Let the picture open its silver nitrate throat and shriek. Like an electric guitar. Delight in the power to enslave the glorious moment. And never second guess.”

“When I was younger, I spent a lot more non-shooting time with people like David, Lou, Syd and Freddie. It was a different and more intimate experience, because these were friends of mine. We were all similar ages, so it was a different kind of experience. So I have a certain affection for the early characters.”
