Rock photographer Mark “Weissguy” Weiss

What began in 1981 as an assignment for Circus Magazine--to shoot a small B&W as part of a Rock ‘n’ Roll Yearbook theme--ended with the infamous photo of Ozzy on the cover, resplendent in a pink tutu and cowboy boots. So began the decades long camaraderie between the two, resulting in the provocative, amusing iconic images of a legend. Weiss is now on a mission to raise money and awareness for the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program at Cedars-Sinai and the Women and Cancer Fund.
