T. ERIC MONROE’s collection consist of rare images and moments from the 90’s that chronicle the intertwining worlds of Hip-hop, skateboarding, and hardcore (punk). The collected images are a rare glimpse into: “that moment when life becomes immortalized - capturing a moment in life that tells its own story of your cultural heroes,” says Monroe.
