Noteworthy Photography

  • Burning Flags Press
    The website of Glen E. Friedman. Renowned for both his work with musicians like Fugazi, Minor Threat, Public Enemy, the Beastie Boys, Slayer (and many, many more) as well as his groundbreaking documentation of the burgeoning skateboard phenomenon in the late `70's, Glen has been privvy to (and has summarily captured on film) some of the coolest stuff ever. He's also an incredibly insightful and nice guy to boot.
  • SoHo Blues - Photography by Allan Tannenbaum
    Allan Tannenbaum is a local photographer who has been everywhere and shot everything, from members of Blondie hanging out at the Mudd Club through the collapsing towers of the World Trade Center on September 11th. You could spend hours on this site, and I have.
  • Robert Otter Photographs
    Amazing vintage photographs of New York City, specifically my own neighborhood, Greenwich Village.
  • oboylephoto
    Just some intensely cool photographs of abandoned places.
  • Rikki Ercoli's Legends of Punk
    Much like Glen E. Friedman (see above), Rikki Ercoli has managed to catch some amazing bands in their manic element.
  • Lost & Found Film
    A fascinating website devoted to undeveloped film found in vintage camers. A curious mixture of interesting and spooky.
  • Pinhole Photography by Veronica Saddler
    NYC landmarks shot through a pinhole lens. Neat-o.
  • Eugene Merinov
    Compelling shots of Punk, Post-Punk and New Wave band performing live in various long-lost venues in a pre-sanitized New York City. Great stuff!
  • Edward Colver

So..uh.. I think I had my Joe Jackson moment with you this past weekend. I think I saw you this weekend apple picking, but I was not sure it was you. I said to my wife, "I think I know this guy, his face looks familiar".. and then you walked up the parking lot, I even said hello and you looked like you did not want to be bothered. It was a surreal moment for me anyway.... I was with my family and you were with yours. Tell me I'm not crazy! Next time I'll say something else, I chickened out.

Ha. Yeah, that was me, but I don't remember anyone saying hello. I was also in a fog of seasonal allergies. Sorry. You should have persisted.

Next time I will,like I said I was not entirely sure it was you. But then I saw the CBGB shirt and then I kind of knew...like I said I was not sure it would be like approaching Joe Jackson or even Lou Reed on the street...I realized you were with your family, I hesitated shouting out, Hey-Flaming Pablum! My family would have looked at me funny...
