Hi- Those photographs from Pacific Northwest magazine were mine – from my project with teenagers in the mid-80s. In the early 90′s I began to photograph teenagers again – in New York state, where I was living. This time I did long video interviews and eventually it was published as my first book “In My Room: Teenagers in Their Bedrooms.”

These immediately reminded me of a book I saw years ago but couldn’t remember the name of. I think the only reason that anyone remembers it besides me is because (a very young and nerdy looking version of) the singer of Earth Crisis is in it…if anyone here knows/cares who that is…

It’s called “In My Room: Teenagers in Their Bedrooms” and was shot by Adrienne Salinger

Those are very interesting pics. I’m pretty sure that skateboard kid has his sneakers on the wrong feet.

Wherever they are, they’re still mumbling the same phrase as their claim to fame.

If you didn’t recognize that the other one (with the glare) is also Big Country, then I think there is hope for you yet. (I was waaaaay too into that band in the ’80s …)

Should I be ashamed that I knew in an instant that the blue poster on the wall of Repo Man Girl’s room was for long-forgotten band Big Country?
