As you know TheNewPop was born out of covering the nightlife, and even though I don’t cover nearly as much nightlife as I use to you can still find it’s influence in just about every video edit I do. I’ve always been intrigued by what is going on in nightlife and as far as I am concerned the King of nightlife coverage in this town is still Paper magazine. Launched in 1984 by editors Kim Hastreiter and David Hershkovits as a black and white 16-page fold-out (printed in the offices of The New York Times), it remains an inspiration to me. Over it’s 25 years in publication it still remains independent AND relevant. Here is a video from their Nightlife Awards ceremony. Great to see Patrick Mcmullen finally get an award. He is THE original nightlife photographer. Enjoy.
