Stumbled into the fashion boutique Public School in Jersey City a few weeks ago and discovered photographer Josh Cheuse. In the 80’s Cheuse captured the music scene in New York, including the early days of hip-hop.

The show ends this Thursday.

That has to come from us, as creative people in our profession.
