Mix – Alexandra Henry – NYC – Sao Paulo – NYC

I first met Alexandra about two years ago at Tropicalia in Furs record store. She was hanging out there, buying and listening to records. I asked her if she collects records, and she humbly replied “kind of… I have a tiny collection, I don’t I could stand out of all the great collectors you’ve profiled already”. I told her that, as some of you already agree, size does not matter! she laughed and agreed with me. 2 years later we finally managed to schedule a photo shoot. Her collection didn’t grow much, but her stories about each individual record went deeper and deeper. read the full interview here.
