When I sat down with Vince Aletti at a small wood table in the main room of his storied East village apartment, i joked with him that i was glad to be in good hands that day. He’s been writing and reporting on culture for over 50 years - he was the first person to write about Disco for Rolling Stone in the early 70’s, he worked as a senior-editor for the Village Voice for over twenty years and was the photo critic for the New Yorker until 2016.
We started talking about when he first began to write about photographers, where, when interested in someones work, he was curious about what made them tick, how one went about their life and How they made it all work.
