Adam Cohen is 23 and considers himself extremely lucky to have Julie Simon for a girlfriend.
MOSSLESS: Where are you from and what’s it like there?
ADAM JASON COHEN: I am from New Jersey. I enjoy the fact that a lot of people talk down about it and make fun of it. Growing up in New Jersey builds character. I loved when I was living in Boston and going to school and meeting people from the middle of nowhere who barely knew how to tie their own shoes without mommy and daddy not being there. It’s also the most diverse state in the country. We have people from everywhere. You get to learn about other peoples and their cultures and way’s of life. We also have about a hundred miles of shores, mountains, farmlands, forests, pollution, and cities that people would be afraid to even drive through.
ML: You’ve been taking classes at New York’s International Center of Photography- how’s that?
AC: It’s great. I haven’t been there for too long, but from what I’ve seen I have been impressed.
ML: What camera do you wish you’d have?
AC: I only own two cameras. I have a Mamiya 7 with a 65mm lens and a Olympus Stylus Epic that I bought for three dollars. I actually own more flashes than cameras. I have three of those. Honestly, I don’t need or wish for anymore equipment than I already own. I am not a gear geek, so collecting cameras does not interest me. I collect photographs.
ML: What’s you favourite thing to have for breakfast?
AC: I almost never eat breakfast. Coffee, glass of orange juice, and a ciggerette and I’m set until dinner.
