Here's the press release for Karen's opening. She did (and continues to do) an amazing job photographing the interview subjects for this project. I hope a lot of people will come out for her opening. If you miss it, the photographs will be up on display for about two months. You'll be able to buy prints of the photos as well as copies of her L!F!P! book and, on opening night only, get the last of my L!F!P! shirts. 

Those who were photographed by Karen for the site (that's all the black-and-white photos) will be displayed at the show (not necessarily in the photos used here on the site). Those shot by me (the color shots) should contact Karen about being re-photographed by her for inclusion in the show.

Former interview subject Yoni Kroll of WKDU will be DJ'ing the event.
