Local Lens: Clay Benskin (Part 3)

March 10, 2016 Photo Essay

by Clay Benskin11Last December, I posted two wonderful roundups (part 1 and part 2) of photography by Clay Benskin, whose day job is as a superintendent in Tribeca (“23 years and still going,” he says). The other day I came upon a new photo of his on Twitter, and it reminded me I needed to reach out and see if Clay would be willing to share more of his work from the area. Behold! And do click to enlarge.

    Enjoyed these very much, thank you for sharing. It would be great if a local gallery or other space mounted a show of his work. I’d go!

    These images are so arresting…..what a fantastic eye you have!
    Clay Benskin is the super of our building and I really do hope he gets recognition for the talent he has worked so tirelessly to develop and refine, with spectacular results.
