“In 1981 I happened to see Joe Strummer - he was the singer for the punk rock band The Clash - on the tube. I saw him sitting on the other side of the seat, but I thought he was too private, he might get too angry but I was trying to be brave, I went up to him and asked him ‘May I take a picture of you?’ he smiled and said ‘Yes’, and I clicked several shots. Just before he got off the train he said to me, ‘You should take photos of whatever you want. That’s punk.”
