IT'S ALL GROOVY, BABY — Stolen By a Bohlen

Oct 1

Oct 1 IT'S ALL GROOVY, BABY

I got to use my late grandpa’s vinyls for this 70s-inspired shoot + I can’t begin to explain how rewarding it is to know him through his music collection. These same vinyls were loved + played by my beloved Poppy. He has hauled this collection around from Germany to Jersey and even Hawaii. I found receipts tucked inside and little marks with his favorite tunes. I miss you, Poppy.

I wrote a poem to go along with my art:
