Catch-Up! (Part II) : This Is The Story Of Brad Elterman!

Jan 29th

Later on that day, I had a party to attend called, “Like It Was Yesterday”. It was a party that was going to feature Brad Elterman’s iconic images that he took in the 70s and 80s. The pictures included iconic images of Leif Garret, Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols, Rodney Bingenheimer who was known as the “Mayor of the Sunset Strip”, Marina Del Rey, Burt Goldenberg, and many others.

The private reception at Next Model Management turned out to be a star studded evening. All the above people showed up. It was actually quite a treat for me to see all these people live in person. It made me wonder how much the business has changed, for the paparazzi business that is.

Before in the good old days, the celebs knew the photographers by a first name basis. Today, we are so many in numbers that celebs don’t even want to claim any association with any paparazzo.

Brad Elterman is still good friends with all the people above, hence that is why they all showed up to his party. I kinda want that to happen to me when my images become iconic images. Can you imagine Lindsay Lohan showing up to see the pictures that I took of her when she was young?

Hey, I promise, I will make it my business to change the business once again. I promise that I will make an effort to change the way paparazzi are perceived by the celebs and the way paparazzi are perceived by people.

The highlight of the evening was when seventies Pop Star, Leif Garret and Brad Elterman reenacted the famous picture taken by Brad Elterman of Leif Garrett and Nicollette Sheridan when she was 17 years old. Brad was a little shy at first, but he finally gave in to the peer pressure. Of course, I got the exclusive shots of the night.
