Drake & Debbie Gaetano
Debbie and I met Bob around 1979 and were introduced to him by Marie DeFrancisco, a hairdresser from Auburn who was a friend of Bob. We were looking at that time for a great photographer to shoot our hair models for us to be published in the world,s best hair magazines.And did Bob come threw for us.At that time we were both new as how to go about pulling this off. From the very beginning we realized we had found a genius who was just the person we were looking for. It took us a little while to get to know how to work together, all of us being artists in our own right. Bob could overwhelm us with his ideas and passion and we created some of the best pictures of hairstyles in the world at that time. We just found this site doing a google search to show a new photographer just starting out Bob's work. She wanted to meet him,we were so shocked to see he passed. What a shock. I would so much love to post some pictures we took (their were many) but they were lost when Debbie and I moved. Would any one you know have access to his negatives? Back in those days we shot film, I would always go into the dark room with Bob to develop the contact sheets. He was a master, he loved shooting our hair work and after a time actually developed an eye for what we were looking for. He will be missed very much. Drake Gaetano
