I photographed Usher for the “My Way” album on 42nd St between 7th and 8th avenue in 1997 (at a time when you could have a photoshoot on a the rainy day in Times Square without anyone else around.) The 2nd photo is when Arista Records had Usher come to my studio for a publicity shoot. I photographed Usher a few times during his breakthrough years, and he changed so much between the ages of 13 and 14 from a growth spirt.

Wishing Wendy Williams a healthy recovery for her brave decision to live in a sober house which she revealed yesterday on The Wendy Williams Show. I shot these photos of Wendy Williams in 2001. Love it or hate it, her over the top personality makes her one of a kind, and I love it. Sending good, healthy vibes your way. #wendy10 #TheWendyWilliamsShow
