    “You’re sitting there with thirty or forty contacts books all over the floor, and you find yourself staying up late into the night thinking ‘there has to be something there’ and finding nothing at all.

    In 1976 while rummaging through an attic of Harvard’s Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology in search of old museum publications, editorial assistant Lorna Condon opened a drawer in a wooden cabinet.

    https://www.juxtapoz.com/news/photography/radio-juxtapoz-ep-061-steven-sweatpants-is-taking-the-photos-of-a-generation/
    It’s apt that in a year of so much turmoil, angst and chaotic worry that we end 2020 on a street corner in the Bronx, NYC.

For what NYC and the world has endured since those early months, to be here talking to Steven Sweatpants as he was finishing up a photoshoot with the NY Knicks feels like an incredible full circle odyssey.
