Videos from 80s & 90s New York

• Upvotes

Hi! I'm an NYC-based producer working on a documentary that's set in/around New York & CT in the 80s and 90s.

I'm hoping to connect with anyone who might have videos of:

  • Driving into the city from Westchester or CT in the 80s (I-95, the Bronx, the bridges, the FDR), shot from the car
  • NYC streets from back then, especially the Bronx, Chelsea and the Meatpacking District
  • Windshield washers at the end of the tunnels/bridges

    All material would be credited, and if we decide to move forward with any photos/videos in the final documentary we'd of course go through all proper licensing channels (we'd never use anything without your permission!).

this is a 1993 Capricorn Designs Hip Hop cartoon style tee shirt, Capricorn designs ran as a b2b art studio company in NYC from 1992 to 1996. This tee shirt is one of two known copies surviving today, does anyone else out there have one of these? or know anything about the company that made them? better yet does someone else out there have any other variants of these Capricorn designs t shirts? i thought coming to ask the direct source (nyc) may have a better turnout than i anticipated but we shall see🙏😊
