Blondie guitarist's photo-book about punk and New York - I wish I would have taken more pictures

A photo is "like a little story. It's a piece of time, time travel", Chris Stein says in an interview with PopMatters about his photography collection, 'Point of View: Me, New York City, and the Punk Scene'. It contains images that span from the late 1960s to 2001, and since Stein was a Blondie co-founder and guitarist, he was able to come close to Andy Warhol, David Bowie, Lester Bangs, Debbie Harry, and more. Besides capturing punk's earliest days, the book contains street scenes from New York.
