Studded Top Hats

'Vega' by James Sagi Kirshenfeld Captures Punk Mad Hatter Style

The Mad Hatter meets the Ramones in James Sagi Kirshenfeld's 'Vega'. These photos are all punk with a top hat thrown in for the hell of it.

I'm not known for my love of punk music, but I do appreciate killer photography no matter what the subject matter. James Sagi Kirshenfeld photos are heavy with the eyeliner and the black clothing, giving the pictures a semi-goth vibe. Normally I'm a colorful guy, but I can make an exception for 'Vega'. Let's just say, I can dig it.
