“I am devastated by the sudden loss of ‘The King of Pop,’ who I have photographed numerous times since the Victory Tour in the ’80s. When he hit the stage at rehearsal, I was thrilled that the magical Michael Jackson was BACK!!! I felt the same adrenaline rush as when I photographed him the first time moonwalking.

Yesterday I couldn’t sleep after such a somber day. I watched different media outlets who dedicated their airtime reporting the death of Michael Jackson. The one thing that really bothered me was that the “mainstream” media focused alot on Jackson’s series of scandals during his career. Although The King of Pop had been plagued by financial, legal, and medical woes for years, why don’t they focus on his tremedous “talent” that changed the face of music and our culture? Reverend Al Sharpton said it best at the press conference he held in front of the Appollo Theatre, where the singer performed many times with the Jackson 5. (see video below)
