Shooting The Blondie Singer in 1970s New York City

These photographs ended up taken in the mid and late 1970s, when every person was in a band, or preferred to be. Blondie appeared to encapsulate the gritty, neat, grindhouse, much less expensive-to-rent, derelict, eccentric New York Town that spread tales of dread, new seems and happenings throughout the globe, and designed you ache to visit.

We have been on tour and my mother termed me up and claimed:”Listen, never get upset, but your household burned down.” We by no means lived there yet again. We went again and staged that. Allegedly that is Marilyn Monroe’s dress that she’s donning, but we simply cannot prove it.” – Chris Stein, by using Smithsonian Mag
