FADER TV: Photographer Zoe Strauss Knows a Bunch of Weirdos

THE FADER

Philadelphia photographer Zoe Strauss once met a man with a Harley Davidson tattoo on his penis, so she took his photo. Some time later, she ran into him again while he was dressed up for a parade. They talked and he mentioned his other friend, also dressed for the parade, with a tattoo on his penis, too. She took a photo of them together. This was in the middle of the day, kind of near a gas station. The new guy’s kid was egging him on. This is the kind of shit that happens to Strauss a lot and she always takes pictures. We sat down with her for a fireside chat and a tour of her new show “America: We Love Having You Here” opening Saturday at New York’s Silverstein Gallery.
