Interview back in the day

Inspired by the magazine that died with its creator.As a person who lived through his twenties in the 80's, I found Interview Magazine so inspirational as a visual person. Like the NYC of the 80's, that has changed. That in itself is not totally a bad thing because such is life.

Once is a while though, like a cool summer breeze, the 80's come back to me nostalgically. I remember getting my hair cut in Kuwait, dreading another convey to Baghdad and I caught a string of early Madonna music videos. It was totally enlightening. It brought back to another time and place, my youth, the 80s, it was a very cool monument.

I get like that when I see the old Interview magazines. Looking at the ones now, it is like looking into the skyline in NYC where the Trade Towers used to be, it isn't the same at all. It isn't good or bad, just different. It is a feeling and the feeling is gone.

The inspiration that the magazine gave me influenced my visual skills and abilities which motivated me to live in New York City in the late 80s and I will always have that.
