Whats Up With The Hoods Out In Astoria

What's Up With The Hoods Out In Astoria? by photographer Dennis McGrath is an archive of photos McGrath took of the skate scene in New York from 1995-2000. Published by Monstera Edition, 2017. "One day while out skateboarding around New York City, Mike Hernandez asked me “Yo D McGrza, what’s up with the hoods out in Astoria?” then went on to say “Greek nigga’s huh? At least you're white!” My brother Jon lived in Astoria, Queens, so that’s where I would stay most Summers throughout the 90’s. The photographs in this book are from my many random trips to NYC from 1995-2000. I was living in San Francisco, shooting skateboard photos for a living at the time so it made sense to escape the cold foggy Summers of SF for the hot humid streets of New York. - Dennis McGrath, Los Angeles, Ca.
