The Cassette Tape Collection

Vintage cassette tapes discovered in deep storage and still in their glorious foam Case Logic carrying case, this collection of 80s and 90s classic albums is all about the details. After not having seen them for about 25 years Scott was struck by how interesting each one was as an intricate little mechanical object. A little box of low tech science that has the sole purpose of transporting the art that lies dormant within. Photographed in 100 megapixel medium format and printed large to see all the wear and tear from years of sliding in and out of tape decks, boom boxes and Walkmans these cassettes are real survivors from another era. You can almost hear the music.
