Re: NYC Subways - the good stuff

 

shit these fliks are dope. I have a lot of them.

my last days living in NY i chilled at Henry's. I told him I was going off to college. He opened up his negative vault and grabbed a stack of negs. He said if i promised to bring them right back i could print them. i got 100 dollars for graduation (that was a lot of money for a 17 year old in 1989) I blew all of it reprinting henry's negs. some real choice, rare shit. that dude had so much shit that never saw the light of day.

 

props to the true Indiana Jones' of this photo collecting subculture

Re: NYC Subways - the good stuff

 

I'm speechless after going through every page of this thread. Granted, there is alot of stuff that i have flix of, or have seen, but to see them all in 1 thread is just mind blowing. This is a thread that alot of newer kids should take notice of. So much history, and style in here. I still to this day think that the best pieces ever were done was in the 70's, and 80's, and this thread proves that (although I am a bit parcial to the 80's only because that is what i grew up seeing). I wonder if younger kids can look at this thread, and trully see the whole picture. How all of these pieces weren't done with a permission slip. How they had limited amount of colors as compared to that euro stuff now. How there were only 2 caps back then. An outline, and a fat cap. Both which you had to rack if you wanted them (not to mention that alot of people just used the stock cap that came on the can). . How most of these cars were done in the middle of the night with poor lighting.....

Again. Great thread. This is the type of thread that you can look at over, and over and not get sick of..thanks..
