Newest photo at Home of the Vain
I live in New York. I'm a photographer. I was Gawker's house photographer since 2004, and nowadays I'm a regular contributor to Vogue. This is the Home of the Vain waiting room, come on in.
Lee Friedlander, New York City, 1967
Seeing this photo twenty years ago is what got me into nightlife photography. (And I occasionally reference it to this day.)

“When Richard B Woodward wrote on Lee in the November 1989 Artnews, he referred to a photograph from 1970, taken in a Las Vegas motel room of me standing in a block of light against a dark wall, with Lee’s shadow imposed on my body. For him the picture read ‘as… a portrait of a marriage in which [Lee’s] photography has overshadowed both their lives.’ In a way, all of these photographs, not just that one, were formed because photography did indeed overshadow all four of our lives.”
