I became interested in photography when I picked up a camera for the high school yearbook. That was back in 1986 and from that moment on I knew I wanted to be a photographer.

Through lighting, composition, and trust of his subjects Penn has captured some of the worlds most memorable images. He effortlessly found the beauty in all the subjects he photographed making him one of the most sought out photographers of his generation.

Even in the act of lip syncing, we choose a song – a preexisting story that's deemed "straight" or "normal" or "nothing out of the ordinary" – and then we squeeze our beautiful queer bodies into it, shifting the meaning, disrupting the total effect. Drag makes room for us queers as we are (or perhaps more importantly, as we imagine ourselves) in the center of every recognizable narrative.

Spanning race, gender, sexuality, age, and class, Kramer’s downtown is a portrait of a portrait of a people who will never stop fighting for the powers, pleasures, and perils of the avant-garde — for the freedom to simply be who we truly are. Kramer gives us a panorama of downtown life in his portraits of everyone from chanteuse Justin Vivian Bond to the Afro-futuristic Illustrious Blacks, scribe Michael Musto to actor Alan Cummings, activists Gays Against Guns to costumier Machine Dazzle. Downtown is a mellifluous medley of queer luminaries and drag queens, performers and promoters, strippers and artists who continue to persevere, knowing full well that the fight for freedom never ends — for the day we lay down is the day we leave the earth.
