Punk photgrapher Susie J. Horgan, featured in Arthur 26, in NYC this weekend

Punk Love is a unique document of the birth of the early Washington, DC, punk movement. At once intimate and authentic, definitive and iconic, Susie J. Horgan’s largely unpublished photographs of such hardcore legends as Minor Threat, S.O.A., and the Teen Idles reflect the fun, honesty, and integrity of a movement whose optimism still resonates today and remain an exceptional contribution to the history of punk.

“Susie J. Horgan’s images were taken as a friend and participant on the music scene, rather than as a journalist, and remain an exceptional contribution to the history of punk.”

In 2006, I was somehow listed in the Music section of Los Angeles Magazine's annual "Power" issue. In 2007-8, I produced a blog called "Nature Trumps," about the L.A. River. From 2010 to 2021, I lived in rural wilderness in Joshua Tree, Ca.
