Tragic and beautiful, ridiculous and sublime, these photographs are a record of the branded proprietary&nbsp;names of street drugs of The Bronx in the years around the Crack and AIDS epidemics.&nbsp; Heroin brand names were mostly associated with trouble and cocaine brand names were mostly associated&nbsp;with good living/the high life. These images tell stories, provide cautionary tales, sell through sex appeal,&nbsp;reference topical issues and engage in Truth In Advertising. Told through the photographs of New York based photographer, Thatcher Keats.&nbsp; Branded Bronx Bags 1984-1994 is part of Blurring Books' new series of publications, Limited Slim Publications.
