It was 1982, and I remember sitting around with my friends, anxious to see the viral hit (as in on TV) of our time the "Thriller" music video. We were just floored, scared, excited, giddy, and just amazed at what we had seen. But then, with hit after hit, the jokes and smear campaigns came out. And I now regretfully admit, I took part in the jokes.

January 21, 2012 - While listening to Jermaine Jackson being interviewed and speaking about his brother Michael, I felt like an ass. To have someone in the same room as you describe how hurtful the allegations and jokes were, really hit me hard.

The Shoot: Jermaine was incredibly soft-spoken and almost seemed shy and timid upon meeting me. But as soon as the video camera started rolling, or when he heard the click of the shutter, his smile beamed and he opened right up.

The Technical Stuff: The one light used was a Interfit Super Cool Lite 655 2-Light Kit (1320 watts of constant lighting) since that was what I used for the video portion of the gig (yes, video). The photos with the mirror and outside were with ambient light. The camera was a Nikon D3S.
