The 1980s Images Of A Decade

You had to be there...and I was. I was in my late twenties and early thirties during the decade of the 1980 to 1989.

It was a time of incredible changes, amazing discoveries and a revolution of media, fashion, social norms and more.

In author Henry Carroll’s and publisher Thames & Hudson’s book: The 1980s Images Of A Decade. readers are invited to relive the decade of self-indulgence and change in a new pictorial tour.

I remember big shoulder dresses for women, Miami Vice, TV hunks like Tom Selleck, Glam Rock, the fall of the Berlin Wall, The Walkman, boom boxes, Rap music, Princess Diane’s wedding, the AIDS epidemic, MTV, 1980s movies, the discovery of the Titanic, Pee Wee’s Playhouse and so many other events.

Music, fashion, politics, sex, space exploration, computers--everything went through changes.

The book spotlights each key event with photos with brief descriptions followed by an in-depth look at how the 1980s was the ‘Decade of Me’ and how it still influences events even today.

Looking through this oversize, hardbound book printed on uncoated paper stock and with a retro-color cover I came to realize that the 1980s was 40 years ago.

Man, am I feeling old!

Proverbs 30:5 - Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
