London, 1985
I spent a month in London in 1985. Within the first few days of landing, I visited a salon I heard about in a music documentary and had my roots lightened and colored bright red. I was excited to see and learn about a foreign subculture, and having the right hair was part of the experience. When Erin Anderson, co-founder of Woodley and Bunney, asked me to be part of a photo contest that involved creating a look that depicted a period and genre in London, my left eyebrow raised. I became obsessed. I pulled out all of my old photos- I googled images for hours. The intensity was furthered by the photographer: HERNY DILTZ! It has been fun reconnecting with my past. I will be spilling out more details in upcoming posts. I shot this image on my iphone.
