Guido Harari recalls: This is one of my favorite photographs. It was taken in Place des Vosges, in Paris, in 1992, while Tom was promoting his Bone Machine album. I had already used my time as granted by his record company and was having a coffee chatting with a French photographer friend. When his time came to shoot Tom, my friend invited me to attend the sitting.
This was still the age of analogue photography and, once he finished his roll of film, he had to stop and reload his camera. Restless and provocative as ever, Tom tore down the photographers backdrop and, using it as a cape, he started running up and down this courtyard. The guy was so shocked that he couldn’t capture this unexpected moment of madness, but I did instead. I started running with Tom, chasing and teasing him all along and managed to get this shot within a couple of rolls of film. Tom loved the shot. I don’t know about the other guy!
