The Loft Artists of New York

 

There is a young photographer who is photographing and filming elderly artists in their New York loft apartments.  These artists have lived here for decades creating their art inside these walls.  This young man is doing us all a great favor by bringing them to us, by documenting their lives and their unique and amazing living spaces before it all disappears.  I'm sure you'll find these gifted individuals as amazing and interesting as I do.

You'll find information on this photograher and on the book he is publishing at the end of this post.
