You have probably seen the work of TDOT as he is known on the streets -- I got the chance to speak to photograpaher T. Eric Monroe about his work during the 90's golden age of hip hop music. He shares many candid details about his experiences and even gives some great advice:

• chasing images on his own dime
• getting published in Thrasher, the Source Magazine ...
• photographing 2PAC
• hip hop as fine art
• 'create your own legacy'
