Ken Hada John Stamos 1982. I made this photograph just before John Stamos became famous. In fact, at this time we would go to Los Angles for his auditions. Eventually, we would do something in Los Angles. Further, one of our favorite things was the stunt show at Universal Studios. Additionally, this picture was shot with my Nikon F2a. Finally, yes I still know John Stamos.

John Stamos text me this photo a few weeks ago. I had sent it to him decades back. I shot this when I was in High School with one of those plastic pocket 35mm film cameras. Probably had it developed at the K-Mart his mom used to go to. John would have auditions in Hollywood, and I would sometimes go along to hang out. On this particular day I remember we did not have enough money to get into Universal Studios. John Stamos and I used to like to watch the stunt show (because we were nerdy that way). At this time there was a huge ivy covered hill in front of Universal Studios (just above one of the parking lots) with a medium size chain link fence on top. Yeah you guessed it. Like most high schoolers we had a great time disrespecting authority.
