What is your favorite museum for photography?
My fondest memories are of the Photographers’ Gallery in London, although not a museum it felt like one to me as a student. Otherwise, no favorite.
What helped you get through the pandemic?
Knowing that I could still do something to help people even sequestered in my one bed apartment. I ran a fundraiser with my friend, the photographer Janette Beckman. We worked with 50 photographers to sell prints of musicians, and raised over $50,000 for God’s Love We Deliver, a non-sectarian food charity in NY. Plus cannabis and Peroni and a patient partner.
What was the best book you read/viewed last year?
The Smithsonian Anthology of Hip-Hop and Rap
