More About the Project:

“Record Store Graffiti : A Portrait of Bleecker Bob’s” captured the essence of a place that brought people together to share ideas, discover new ones, play music and form bands — all before the store would be gone forever.

It’s a goodbye and more than a prequel to the nostalgia of emotions that music always seems to evoke. It’s not about being cool, but a heart-felt reminder of what we hope for in the face of loss; of our attempt to hold onto something so that we can remember and, hopefully, find it again.

Stores like Bob’s aren’t about shopping. They are about searching for objects, and connecting us to feelings that, oftentimes, feel like only our own, but that are shared by others. The photography series explores this sentiment by preserving character development drawn on every 45s record case, worn into the floorboards, and covering every inch of the place with memorabilia.

Here, Lenny Kaye met Patti Smith, and artists such as the Lovin’ Spoonful, James Taylor, and Tim Buckley performed in the mid-‘60s, when it was still called the Night Owl Café. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Frank Zappa and David Bowie were known to stop by here as well. The history of Bob’s is our story too.

The photography in “Record Store Graffiti : A Portrait of Bleecker Bob’s” was created during two late night cram sessions in April 2013 just before the store closed that month. As bar hoppers emptied onto the streets in search of a cab or, perhaps, as an NYU student burned the midnight oil for their exams, I diligently documented everything I could. I crafted collages out of the record dividers, photographed 45s on the floor, shot the bathroom, the cash register – everything in sight. The photography production, just like Bob’s itself, was down and dirty. No lights, no frills. Just a surge of creativity compressed into several hours over two days with no time to think, only shoot.
