Current TV Pod - Martha Cooper

This is an excellent video interview about my client, 'Tag Town' photographer, Martha Cooper on Current TV. She recounts what it was like to document the humble beginnings of the graffiti scene in New York City when she was working as a freelance photographer for the New York Post. Watch and learn, people.

Added by Thomas Green at Current TV:

Martha Cooper was a photo-journalist living in New York City when she first began documenting the origins of B-boy (short for break-boys) and hip hop culture. While other New Yorkers at the time saw this movement as a trite, uninspired or even offensive fad, Martha found a new form of expressing art. Through her camera lens we recount the infancy of hip-hop culture, from the alleys and subways of New York to the masses beyond the boroughs.
