"Like families, there are always constellations in musical groups. It is critical for me to create a relationship with each individual independently. David was clearly the visionary of the group. This session was unusual. I was hired by Life Magazine for an editorial on emerging music. This was shot on a rooftop in Manhattan at dusk."
