Portrait of The Artist

  • Photographer
    Sandra Kauffman

Two photographs joined together to make one. At the far right, a woman - reflected in a mirror - sits in a chair, holding a camera to her eye. Other items in the room - desk, computer, wastebasket, bags hanging from hooks, etc - fill the rest of the frame.

I am a native New Yorker, an audio editor, and the author of three non-fiction books, one of which, "The Cowboy Catalog," became a best-seller. I have a degree in French Literature and Journalism from New York University, but my greatest teacher has been New York City itself. Exiled now to Washington, DC, my mind and heart still run on New York time. That means I love drama, action, noise, the off-beat and outspoken, the theatre of the street. Tell me you see any of these in my photographs and I will be your friend for life.
