Stevie Ray Vaughan, In Step, Austin, Texas, 1989
I flew down to Austin from New York to photograph Stevie Ray Vaughan's album, “In Step” (his last solo album). The photo session was like playing a long gig. Having vamped through a few moves to warm up. We got the In Step cover, then the Pride and Joy picture. We both knew we had the photograph, but we had much more to do that day, so we jammed on for hours. I stood on a ladder to get this bird’s eye view of his Fenders, including, “Number One”.This photograph was part of the Stevie Ray Vaughan PRIDE & JOY exhibit, curated by the Grammy Museum, in 2017 at the Bullock Museum, Austin.Stevie was a lovely man, passionate about music, who exuded energy and style, with an intoxicating smile as big as Texas.
