Ken Tannenbaum has been taking pictures for a very long time. He served the advertising industry for decades, solving varied problems for a diverse set of clients and was known to not shy away from a challenge. He accomplished an unusual success in a cross section of complex image-making genres over the years. He was on the Board of The Advertising Photographers of America and along the way had notably grand studies, the last being a 4000 sq ft studio in Tribeca. However, his interests took a hard turn on 9/11 when his son was attending grade school a few blocks from the WTC. During this period the family bought a 19th Century farmhouse in Catskill, NY. Tannenbaum claims “the turn of events has been satisfying beyond measure”...but the change was not necessarily easy; the transition from being a well-paid problem solver to becoming re-energized photographer creating images close to the heart took time. That continues after nearly two decades of living in Catskill, NY.
