The Bevnaps were a local Madison, Wisconsin Band that wrote some original music. I  was the lead singer of this "pop-up" band.

Bevnaps: Down at ........  Drive at Madison, Wisconsin

There is a vibrance, a joy, and a love for photography that one feels when speaking with Meryl Meisler.  It’s also very cool that by day she was a high school art teacher in Brooklyn and, by night, dancing and photographing at legendary clubs like Studio 54. Anyway, that’s just how I see it. Of course, there’s a lot more to Meisler’s photography than just 1970s disco and 1980s Bushwick, and we talk about a wide range of subjects on this episode of the B&H Photography Podcast.

Meisler’s latest book, "New York PARADISE LOST Bushwick Era Disco", is a wonderful look back at two very different versions of New York. It juxtaposes images she took in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bushwick and those in the clubs and discos of Manhattan. We speak about how photography starts conversations, and how we can feel more confident with a particular camera, whether medium format, FUJIFILM X series, or a Canon point-and-shoot. We also discuss editing and maintaining a large body of work over a period of decades, studying with Lisette Model, balancing a photography practice with a full-time job, and an upcoming exhibit of Meisler’s work to be held at the same public school at which she taught. 

Join us for this uplifting conversation and check out Meisler’s extended exhibition at The Center for Photography at Woodstock, through September 15, 2021.

HOOK 
Oooo, who’s Yellen now?
Who’s Yellen, who’s Yellen now? 

VERSE 1
Doves on the left
Hawks on the right
Crosstalk in the flock tryna fight mid-flight 
But here comes Yellen with that inside voice
Never mind the mild manner, policies make noise 
She’s five foot nothing, but hand to god
She can pop a collar, she can rock a power bob 
Bay Ridge represent!
Brooklyn’s in the cabinet!
Damn, Janet, go and get it—
Fifth in line for president! 
She knows the kinda stimulus it takes to pass a buck 
I heard she called the housing crisis  
She’s qualified as ffff—
It only took a couple centuries
The first female secretary of the treasury

BRIDGE
Don’t want no tax evasion 
Forgers faking 
In her treasury
Trying for higher wages
For the nation
Less disparity

VERSE 2 
Watch your step, there's busted glass
Janet broke another ceiling 
You can bet your brass
That the Lego guy is leaving 
Last check to cash
—'Scuse me, Janet has a briefing and a flight to catch
And Janet
She’s the first that’s led 
The Council of Economic Advisors, Tresh, and the Fed, 
She needs a three-sided coin that always comes up heads
To put the triple crown down when she goes to bed
Call the decorators
New boss in the office
Spenders and the savers
Watch the confirmation process
We got to meet her
Now let’s let her settle in  
And lift up your mojitos—
Cause she manages the mint
