One of my all-time favorite photos. It was my first shoot with Ronnie after his departure from @BlackSabbath. I photographed this for the premiere issue of FACES magazine in my studio in NYC. #dio #ronniejamesdio

One year ago today, I was on my way to Birmingham, England to photograph the greatest heavy metal event ever staged.

Back to the Beginning wasn't just another concert, It was history.

Taylor Swift update! My good pal Steve Lacy from FOX 5 NY had me on to talk about those wild early days of sneaking into MSG, getting arrested, and how it all led to my career photographing Ozzy, KISS, Bon Jovi, etc.

Ozzy’s throne is coming home to Birmingham. “At Back to the Beginning, sitting on that throne, I felt at home, I felt at peace…I felt comfortable.” - Ozzy Osbourne, from his memoir, Last Rites. Sharon Osbourne said “As we approach the one-year anniversary of Back to the Beginning, it feels fitting that Ozzy’s throne, which has now become synonymous with his final performance, would be placed in the museum, where it can be seen by the fans who loved him.”
See Ozzy’s iconic throne exclusively, for free, at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, from July 1st to September 27th.
