Creative Legends of the DMV returns after a slight break with Episode 11 all about local DMV photographer Chip Py!
Chip grew up in Bethesda where he shadowed his dad who was a news reporter. It led to a love of photography that soon crossed with an equal love of music. Chip garnered more and more experience as he grew up in the area composing all kinds of pictures in all kinds of environments.
As the 21st century loomed, Chip found there was one DC element he was unfamiliar with. He had heard a bit of Chuck Brown and some go go but was not fully involved and invested and that is eventually exactly what he became. After attending some shows and getting acquainted with the scene, Chip found himself being the personal photographer to Chuck Brown and the ever evolving DC Go Go scene. This led to image after image that was a reflection of the scene at the time and that no other photographer was on hand and close enough to document.
This resulted in Chip's current book, DC Go Go. A first hand account of the evolution of the DC go go scene and a rich history of the bands and people involved beyond Chuck Brown. It is also a great look at DMV and DC history written and accounted for by someone who was in the center of it with his camera as it happened.
