Day 4: SOHO
“Following an Obsession.”
The coolest day ever: we were given the opportunity to shoot with a 20×24 Polaroid camera. Everyone had to come up with an idea and had about 15 minutes to create the lighting and have Jen take the shot. Jen, who ran the studio and took the images, was great to work with and made the experience successful. Everyone created great and exciting images. Walker and I also ventured to Chinatown to find tubes to put the 20×24 images in and in doing so, Walker decided to trip in a hole and sprain his ankle.
We then booked it way, and I mean way uptown (94th street) to meet Len Jenshel who sat down with us for an hour and talked with us about his work, the National Geographic article with his photographs about the border between Mexico and the U.S. and just talked in general about being a photographer.
Slowly we made our way back down town to meet Harvey at Howard Greenberg Gallery. Harvey is a SCAD alum who now works at this amazing gallery and is in the presence of “works of art” everyday!

My favorite day of the trip.
Man that looked like a fun day. Did anyone ask Jen how Polaroids coping with the digital age? I would’ve LOVED to of heard that answer.
I am really enjoying this series. It looks like you guys got a lot of exposure to some amazing stuff.
Hey I am an intern the studio and were coping with the digital age by shooting until we run out of money or film…which ever comes first.
Shane, I’d imagine you guys would run out of film before money, since it seems like your schedule at the studio is booked solid.
Thanks again for all your help when we were there.
