Rare, classic Patti and other punk pix for sale, City Beat press, shows, etc.

["Jenny Lens" <jennylens>]

Hi all, I've been a long-time member/reader and inviting you to look at my
early punk pix. Patti called me "The Girl with the Camera Eye" from LA's
Roxy stage, 1976.
jennylens.net/merch: 175 archival photos for sale! LA, NY and Brit bands and
fans (1976-1980). No money, no wall space, no problem! Enjoy them. Bigger
than at jennylens.net, my archive site w/pix and long stories. Please
forward my links and this email!

LA City Beat column devoted/dedicated totally to my work at
http://lacitybeat.com/article.php?id=2700&IssueNum=122 ("The Girl with the
Camera Eye," October 6, 2005). MY Patti shot accompanies Mick Farren
article.

Working w/custom lab, printing archival silver gelatin, traditional darkroom
photos and hand-signed.

Please tell performers, producers, documentarians, authors, designers, your
neighbors, your co-workers, soccer mothers, lawyers, students, etc.

Constantly surprised all the telephone operators, clerical workers, retail
personnel, technical support w/whom I deal with on business levels are into
my photos, but they don't know they are MY photos or how to find me. And
they help me do what I'm doing!

Exhibiting photos at group shows. Turning down one-woman shows until I can
raise funds or find corporate sponsorship. Any ideas? Write me!

Several book proposals in the pipeline PLUS collaborations with well-known
artists AND more press coverage.

Can't do it alone: need equipment, people power and money to respond to ALL
the serious interest in my archive.

Please spread the word. Can ONLY continue this work by selling and licensing
my prints. Need grants and major support. This archive needs to be preserved
and shared, or we lose a vital part of our cultural history.

I have shots of Patti w/Sparks, backstage at the Santa Monica Civic
Auditorium and on stage w/Arthur Lee and color shots of her and Jim Carroll
on stage. James Williamson, formerly w/Iggy, at her show. Tons on and off
stage, but I need money and equipment to scan, post, preserve and share
these. ALL 1976-78.

Had no idea what/who were in my files. Seymour Stein, who started Sire and
signed the Ramones. Found him at the Weirdos, Slash magazine benefit show,
Larchmont Hall, July 8, 1977. The Damned and their manager in the audience,
Weirdos, Orpheum, April 16, 1977. My photos confirm long-time stories and
rumors. Who else will turn up? Or as Peter Case, formerly of the Nerves,
told me: "without my photos, their history would be lost."

Why two sites? I initially created my informational site, jennylens.net, in
Dreamweaver, but needed a powerful, professional online store.
jennylens.net/merch is built with ShopSite database software, which has
design limitations. And they both require tons of html hand-coding. Will
they ever be one site? When I have two weeks to do nothing else! Or someone
to help me.

THANK YOU! Spread the word! I've only just begun . . .
