And his new book, “Dustin Pittman: New York After Dark,” turns the page back on the golden era. “It was an incredible period. It was an incredible time,” Pittman told The Post. “It was really loose, really easy. You could roll with people."" ~ NY POST ""From shadowy underground haunts to prestigious galleries and clubs, “Dustin Pittman: New York After Dark” dives into the pop culture scene of New York during the ’70s and ’80s through Pittman’s lens.
