Susie J. Horgan

Susie J Horgan is one of the first great photographers to grow out of and document the early punk scene in Washington DC in the early 80s. Her iconic photographs from the Washington DC punk scene in 1980-'81 are instantly recognizable by people familiar with Dischord Records -- the Teen Idles 7", The SOA 7", the first Minor Threat 7", and the Flex Your Head LP all use her photos as central themes. Her first photograph ever is a legendary image in the Georgetown Haagen Das, of Ian McKaye and Henry Rollins, who were employees there at the time. Unlike many documentary photographers, Susie's perspective is personal. She doesn't view the scene from the outside but as a participant, and the result is a document of history and friendship. Punk Love.
