“How did she become friends with Bianca Jagger, and a fly on the wall at Andy Warhol’s “Factory”? I wouldn’t have lasted 10 minutes before Warhol, or rather one of his minions, asked me to leave. And the only place Bianca and I would have lunched together is in an alternate universe. Part of being cool is that you deny you are. “I always felt I wasn’t cool either,” Ms. Barron told me when we met for drinks at the Odeon, where she once spent many an evening in the company of art world royalty. “I always wondered, ‘How do I fit into this puzzle?’ I never felt I was part of this group. I felt I was recording it and I was removed.”

Photographer Jeannette Montgomery Barron’s latest book, “Scene,” published by powerHouse Books, takes viewers back to 1981—the year she began taking a series of photographs of the artists and creatives that surrounded her in New York City. Barron was then in her mid-twenties, snapping away at musicians, fellow photographers, film directors, and artists just on the cusp of fame. “I was a bit naïve—taking everyone and everything at face value,” she writes in the introduction to her book. “In a way New York was a bit naïve too, just coming out of the recession but before the art boom that is now so famously remembered. It was a good match.”

Press Release, “NYC, c. 1985″

Joshua Lutz: I started taking pictures to have something to print. I did’t really like taking pictures so much, I liked printing. I liked escaping the world by being in the dark and listening to music. The picture making was incidental. It wasn’t until I started to not like the images that I was printing that I started to think about what to photograph. As far as milestones go they usually aren’t the ones I think they will be. The ones that move the work and change my process are not related to what typically constitutes a milestone. Usually its just a conversation or an encounter that changes my direction and not an award or a show. Those things act more as placeholders like New Years Eve or birthdays.

As an avid street photographer, Gunar Roze embarked on what he calls “photo trips” when he first came to New York in 1980, armed with a 35mm camera. In this photos series “Manhattan 1982,” he presents the gritty streets of New York, capturing colorful moments in history through these raw and grainy prints.

Three prints from Gunar Roze’s series “Manhattan 1982” will be featured in an upcoming exhibit at ClampArt in New York. Check out this exhibit in May to see the enlarged prints up close—they are bound to be amazing, thanks to his extensive years and knowledge as a professional master printer.
