‘Being from New Jersey, I applied for an internship at Big Brother for the summer. I met Rick Kosic and gave him all of my shots. He handed them all back to me. So, I literally went a across the street to the Skateboarder and they took it. It was my first photo that got published. I got like 100 to 200 rolls of film from Mike Blabac.
I met Donger only once which was that day. He had done it previously but no photo was taken. I used a 400 speed film but the negative is gone unfortunately. Zoo York Team Manager wanted to help build a website in 2000 but I never got the negative back.What you see now is a scan from a print which still looks pretty good.’
