They were interviewed at the actual locations that they photographed their masterpieces; on the street right in front of the legendary live venue CBGB used to be and the cafe located right across, and a small park right around the corner. The video includes some stories and photos that have been previously featured on our newsletters and website topics, which you would find at each link below for your reference.
