Armstrong studied painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston before moving to New York City, just in time to show his photographs at MoMA Ps1's pivotal "New York/New Wave" exhibition in 1981. He briefly returned to Boston in the mid-'80s to deal with his health, but he came back to NYC in full force in the late '90s, entering the world of fashion not longer after.
