In George's words - "This was my first photo shoot with Tom Waits, and it was commissioned by 'Interview' magazine. Tom wanted to be photographed in Times Square. I suggested the idea of a 'prisoner of Times Square' concept with Tom wrapped in a big chain, leaving only one arm free so he could smoke a cigarette. Tom told me he didn't smoke anymore. The day of the shoot, it was freezing cold. A Marriott Hotel had been built in the past three months, blocking the afternoon sunlight that I had counted on. It was so cold that the Polaroid attachment for my Hasselblad wouldn't work. This is what I got... Tom is so charismatic that every photo from this session was great. This photo is everyone's favorite."
