Joan Jett, Santa Monica Boulevard 1977:

I did numerous photo sessions of Joan back in the day. It was not just to help promote The Runaways, but we hung out as friends. Joan and I did photos all over town including the park, the beach, playing softball, in the recording studio, the street, eating a hot dog, the list goes on and on. This photo was taken in front of the old Tropicana Motel when she was shacked up at the time. You would not even recognize the street today, and I would never in my wildest dreams imagine that she would go on to become such a star and cult figure. I wish Joan would call me one of these days!
