Getting a look into the opening reception for Heron Prestons new book, The Young & The Banging, we instantly feel throwback high school nostalgia. The event lived up to its title with its chalk boards, blown up polaroids, science fair projects and the timeless Lifetouch style photo booth. The gallery will be open until September 28th, 2008 with more information provided at the Young & Banging website. If you missed out on the book preview, click here.

Starting off as a small project by a collective of friends, The Young and the Banging has exploded into something more formal and very appealing. Taking a style much like a yearbook, it showcases hand picked young people and companies in cities across the world exploring the different creative outlets that we are exposed to. Along with the creation of a book, galleries are also set up as part of the entire process. The latest installment involving downtown NYC will be releasing September 4th 2008 with an opening reception as well. More information can be obtain at their official website.
