TOM WAITS in the kitchen, Santa Rosa, California, 1999 Guido Harari recalls: “In 1999 Tom was promoting a new record, “Mule Variations”, but wouldn’t move from his headquarters in California. So he had press and photographers flown in from all over the world to Santa Rosa. The tiny Chinese restaurant seemed like his natural hangout and he didn’t seem inclined to even go outside the door to be photographed. Suddenly he grabbed the owner’s apron in a frenzy and dragged me in the kitchen, where he proceeded to fool around with pots and pans, pretending he was some kind of demented chef. My motor drive was smoking from action and this shot captures the zaniness of it all.”

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!

Guido Harari shares the background to this beautiful photograph: "In 1989, Crosby was clean and on the go with his second solo album, Oh Yes I Can. I always had been attracted by his face and this was my chance in a lifetime to capture his newfound serenity. He and Graham Nash, a true expert in photography, fell in love with this image and a few years later it appeared on Crosby's Thousand Roads album cover. Twenty-five years later Crosby agreed to co-sign a very limited edition of 15 fine art prints, which makes this image even more special to me." Note that a regular version is available, signed by Guido Harari alone, in a range of sizes, here. Archival limited edition pigment print on 16 x 23 inch paper, signed and numbered on the front by Guido Harari and David Crosby. Image size 11 x 21 inches approximately. Edition of 15.

"This was the first studio shoot in a long time, these shots were taken to promote David-sans first album for Sony records, Heathen. The checked scarf looks good on him. This is one of my favourite portraits." Masayoshi Sukita "Portraits are always the hardest thing to do seriously. It feels, ultimately, like the deer in the headlights." David Bowie
