Digging through the back rooms of rock photography history often means slogging through self-aware ridiculously posed press-packet-ready photographs. Why is it that the brief flicker that was Post Punk/No Wave in New York has such a disproportionate number of the most amazing photographs?

David Arnoff’s photographs capture the stark heart of the sound that became no wave.
for images to use in my new series of shirts: images of great couples who helped each other change music, art, fashion, and culture at large. The photos speak for themselves: some of these stories have tragic endings, and some (Lux and Ivy of the Cramps are my favorite example) are still together and wicked and as talented as ever. Who are your favorite examples of duos from the art, music, or history? Extra points for including photos!
