A fine art photography book that examines the flux of my partying youth.
THE UNDERGROUND is the name of this book, the name of the place it took place, and the place I spent my early twenties partying till dawn.
The book examines the rise and fall of a party house, youth culture during these years, the ideas behind 15 seconds of fame, and gives the photos taken during this time a proper home. Through the collected photographs taken at parties and small narratives that I wrote, the story of a group of people's lives at the time is remembered. The camera was left out at parties, picked up by anyone - it becomes the ever seeing eye.
The book is available to purchase on www.blurb.com. It is 7x7in and roughly 80 pages.
