A Photo Editor - Chip Simons: Interview

If you are old enough to remember the meteoric rise of Chip Simons in the 80's, you will be blown away at what has transpired since. Read this important interview with Rob... Chip Simons reinvents himself.

A Photo Editor - Chip Simons- Behind The Photos: "In 1993 his fame and fortunes have grown to the point where Chip and his girlfriend (now wife) move to Bosque Farms, NM where they feel confident they can keep the business flowing and they do, clocking up to 250 jobs a year through 2000 and the dot com bust.

Then, the business starts to struggle and stock sales start to crumble and suddenly divorce. And, wham, the money is all gone and the business is really drying up and suddenly you’re a 49 year old former wunderkind thinking “what in the hell am I going to do?” If you’re Chip Simons you hit the effing reset button, sell all your gear, pack your shit in the car and drive from New Mexico to east 13th street in NYC and start pounding the streets again."
