Ernie Paniccioli, bestselling Author of “Hip Hop at the End of the World” and “Who Shot Ya?” first made his foray into the culture in 1973 when he began capturing the ever-present graffiti art dominating NYC. Armed with a 35-millimeter camera, Paniccioli has recorded the entire evolution of Hip Hop. Paniccioli, himself Native American, is known for his special eye for capturing people and communities ignored or misunderstood by mainstream America. Starting with snapping pics (a priceless history) of graffiti art in 1973 in NYC, he evolved to become the pictorial archeologist of Hip Hop. |
