How many photos does Throwback Thursday’s Steve Harmon have of life on the UWS in the 1970s and 1980s? How does he decide what to photograph, and what’s his favorite image in his voluminous collection? Listen below to his interview with Rag Radio host Claire Davenport, in which Harmon reveals answers to those questions, as well as one about his breakfast.

Music courtesy of Blue Dot Sessions. And for earlier installments of Rag Radio segments with West Side Rag writers, listen to Claire’s interview with the authors of Ruthless Advice, her talk with Rag cartoonist Bob Eckstein and her conversation with WSR reporter Gus Saltonstall.
