DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince

I believe this was my first paying gig. DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince were making in-store appearances promoting their new album, He’s the DJ, I’m the Rapper. I was in school at the University of Louisville and working at the Photographic Archives. If I remember correctly, the manager at NRM Records on Dixie Highway* was a former student at U of L and had also worked at the Photo Archives. He called and asked if there were any photography students that could shoot the event. The rest is history.
