PUB 03 BMW Guggenheim Lab

I had the opportunity to shoot for an extended period of three months on this project for The Guggenheim Museum and The BMW Guggenheim Lab. ""As someone who was present for the entire ten-week span, [Eric] captured the quotidian charm of the Lab... His photos are a poetic and personal meditation on the architecture, designed by Atelier Bow-Wow, and the emotions triggered in that space."

PUB:02 works by ericjhenderson in "Harlem: A Century In Images" (Rizzoli)

Please see two of my earliest images (one here below), Harlem photographs in this publication by Skira Rizzoli and The Studio Museum in Harlem.

("People Get Ready" Harlem, NYC 2003)

This publication is a soul-stir and a joy for me as the photos were taken in the first few days after I found the 1950 Kodak Brownie Hawkeye that I continue to use exclusively to this day. So, I didn't know that I was a "phototgrapher," versus a guy who simply had found something that moved him.

That day was a blessing. I thank the Lord.

The book is... a photographic survey of nearly two hundred images of Harlem from the early 1900s to the present. Harlem: A Century in Images tells the story of Harlem through the eyes and lenses of some of the most important artists and photographers of the twentieth century. The first book of its kind, Harlem will also include essays by Deborah Willis, Cheryl Finley and Elizabeth Alexander, with a forward by Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Artists include: Richard Avedon, Eve Arnold, Alice Attie, Dawoud Bey, Cornell Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Leonard Freed, Chester Higgins, Jr., Helen Levitt, Gordon Parks, Jamel Shabazz, Aaron Siskind, James VanDerZee and Weegee.
