In one instance, he photographs a man with huge jeans that are made entirely from collected Deadhead patches, while another wears a tie-dye shirt with holes that he’s had since the ’80s. “If I stop a guy, I’m like, ‘Oh, that shirt is so cool. It is like a Calvin and Hobbes comic, but it is like a Dead thing.’ The guy is like, ‘Oh, yeah. I got this at The Lot in 1980 in Boulder. I got it for my daughter but she never fit into it.
