"Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac stands in the ocean breeze with her trademark flowy dress sleeves rippling dramatically over her head. This photo was taken on the roof of Stevie's condo in Venice Beach, CA during a shoot for People Magazine. “She was right at the edge of the roof, and it got so windy and dangerous I became very concerned she would fly right over the side of the building"

"This was the first real one-on-one shoot that we did together. The day was absolutely intoxicating, and the next afternoon a bouquet of flowers arrived at my house with a note thanking me for a "magical shoot." She's a friend for life and one of the most creative people I've ever met." - NEAL
