Graphic Designer Dean Torrance of Jan and Dean had called me to shoot some photos for Dennis Wilson's new solo album #PacificOceanBlue . Just today I found three long lost images from this photo shoot. I went online and read about his dramatic and traumatic life. My glimpse of him was the opposite. He greeted me with " Wow , you're the surf photographer ! " He was the only one of the group who understood the feeling of riding a wave on a surfboard. We went for a cruise around Venice in his VW van with his new album up loud on the 8 track and him looking back at me wanting to know what I thought, did I really like it, trying to fathom if I was just "yes manning" him. We pulled into a couple of those short dead ends on the beach front. Each time within minutes people recognized him and would start to gather or shout out compliments. We never stayed long. There were no fatties, rails or booze. He was steady, calm, stoked and seemed truly excited about his new album. I took some shots on his beloved yacht but he first made me promise not to publish the name of the boat. #RestinPeace . ©jeffdivine #jeffdivinephoto #jeffdivine "
