"The faces of the generation that gave birth to hip-hop"
Photographs taken in New York from 1980-1989. Nearly all are posed portraits of individuals or groups, with a few candids. Subjects are on sidewalks, stoops, subway stations, subway trains, on motorcycles, in parks, holding boom boxes, showing off graffiti and the unique fashion of the '80s. Nearly all subjects are African American, though there are a few white-appearing faces in some of the group shots. Vibrant.
