In 1978 Robert Plant went fucking ape shit on me as I photographed him at my local Encino park playing soccer. I had a tip that he was there and it was all legal for me to take his photo, but he would have none of it. He surrounded me with all of his roadie-bodyguards and demanded my business card. He gave the the usual shit that I would never work in this town ( L.A.) ever again. Yeah, but I was a teenage kid and it was my fucking park so I just stood my ground and got the hell out of there. I already had my photos and you could not beat what I had already captured, a rock god with kicking a soccer ball in a skimpy speedo. I really hope that I can meet Robert for a drink one day and have a laugh about that afternoon.

That’s right – Brad’s on Tumblr! You’ve seen more of his stuff here than you may know, so be sure to check it out.

In the meantime, here are some more shots from his accidentally epic shoot with Robert Plant, both in and out of his Wolverhampton Wanderers jersey.
