"Even though Nick, Julian, Fab, Nikolai, Albert and myself all grew up with different experiences, the one thing that flows through us all is New York City. It’s the fabric binding all of our stories. Where we met, how it shaped us, how it influenced my photography and their music. Manhattan was our backyard and we roamed it heavily. It was still a time when the city still had its grit and hadn’t been stripped of its core yet. Before 9/11, before social media and before you could find everything on a search engine, it was still loose and you could discover things on your own." -
