The images make you laugh, smile, turn away in disgust and some make you think what pushed Dashiel Snow of the famous de Menil art aristocracy to become an outcast from his own family.
All I know is the pictures are an amazing documentation of a child of my generation and depicts youth culture in gritty reality.
