Cool people on the scene

I found this while rummaging through the kitchen at the fancy estate sale we hit the last time we went out. There was a nice recipe for poached salmon on the other side, but I snagged it for the photos! This is from the May 1985 issue of Pacific Northwest Magazine.

I’m not sure what the point of this spread was, but I really wonder where all these people are now.

Update: Adrienne Salinger left us a comment saying: “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.” Super cool to know more about these!
