Day 2: Chelsea

“You can throw-up after you make the call, but make the call!”

Tuesday began with a trip to a law firm office on 5th avenue to meet with Greg Ceo, who we discovered was a SCAD alum and is planning on teaching at SCAD in the fall. He talked to us about the ins and outs of being a commercial photographer in the city. As a side note, we met at the law firm because his father-in-law is the owner; not because Greg is sued all the time.

Lois Greenfield’s studio was our next stop. She fit us into her busy schedule and talked with us about her work, being a photographer and once a photojournalist and we tried to help decide on images for a calendar she’s creating for next year! She was an inspiration for all of us.

We walked around Chelsea to see a few galleries: Clamp Art, Robert Mann Gallery (where Elijah Gowin was showing work), Stefan Stux Gallery, and Zach Feuer Gallery.

For the evening event, some of us endured torrential downpours and Steve flipping out for a few minutes while we took a trip on a schooner for a tour of the Hudson River and the Island of Manhattan. It was a terrific experience and one that took my jeans almost three days to dry.
