“I couldn’t believe I was going to photograph Bob Dylan. I chose the Ambassador Hotel because of the variety it gave me as a location. It also had a great history. It was where the Rat Pack used to hang out and play at its Coconut Grove Room. Also Robert Kennedy was assassinated there. Dylan was also interested in the history of the location. I think he stayed a few hours more for that reason. We also decided to create images with atmosphere and capturing special moments. We decided to find some props and someone came back with some foreign language newspapers and we thought it would be fun to go with that. I was simply amazed he even showed up !”

“What’s money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do”
~ Bob Dylan
ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK
Well Danny’s instincts and patience paid off that day in 1999. Ever unpredictable as is his right when you possess such a unique talent, Bob did show and gave another iconoclastic performance. This time just for the camera. We are grateful he did. So cool right?
