“Slap taggin” daytime in San Francisco, 1994. Photograph by @iamthelovejoy (episodes 8 & 9 of my podcast). I was wearing a full @tribalstreetwear kit: hoodie, pants, belt, socks and backpack (which likely contained more stickers, markers, spray cans, fatcaps, a 35mm film camera, a strip of lsd, a Walkman, huge headphones and a few DJ mixtapes). #throwback
