By Legs McNeil Resident PUNK: Legs Mcneil (Author, Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History Of Punk & Dear Nobody: The Diary of Mary Rose) “Paul Zone dared to bring color film to the black and white party that was the 1970’s punk scene in New York City. Besides being a rock star, Paul’s artistry with his camera captures all the glam, glitter and garishness of that sinfully decadent time—and reminds us again how much fun everyone was having! We want to be standing there—in every photo—just out of frame-- watching, listening and laughing as Debbie Harry and Joey Ramone trade one-liner—before deciding whether to go to Max’s or CBGB’s? The great feeling we get from his photos-- is that Paul Zone was actually “In” with the “In Crowd,” one of those charmed people who was everywhere, every night with all the right people! And he got the goods to prove it! Of all the photos from this period, Paul Zone’s pictures breathes a refreshing new life into a time that is fast becoming a fading memory—and makes us see that wonderful scene for the truly vital moment it was! I love Paul Zone’s visions of the past, which became our future!” -Legs McNeil
