The Olympic Flame Diner is just down the street.0:51This is Lisa Reinhart Fenn-Gordenstein. She was drawn in March of 2003. Her drawing is counting nine people.1:01Lisa Reinhart Fenn-Gordenstein was drawn standing on 10th Avenue outside of the Duane Reade.1:08All of our photographs of her only confirmed how important it is to spend the time to give her an appropriate amount of hair.1:15hair. Longish hair does not come quickly. To make hair, a piece of tape is torn vertically1:20into tiny little strips. Sometimes, to make the hair and put it on takes as long as drawing1:26the entire figure. That is a major contributing factor to why the renditions of the firemen1:31can be done rather expediently. Andrew drew their hair, I drew the figure, and Adriana1:36took the photographs. I will admit that on this particular stretch, the acceptometer1:41meter was registering rather low. When I move around the corner, things turn 180 degrees.1:46We never lie about what we were doing, but when a Duane Reade worker came out to ask Adriana why1:51she was taking pictures of the building, she just told him the manager had said it was all right.1:56A misunderstanding. She thought I had talked to the manager. That started between the two of us2:02accidentally served a purpose, splendidly.
