photographer's eviction


Legendary photographer Editta Sherman is being forced to leave her New York loft of 58 years, along with other residents. She by the way is 96 years old. Now I'm not sure how rent control works, and do understand that Carnegie Hall (where she lives above) would like to expand, but ejecting someone after inhabiting a place for over half a century just seems wrong. Happy Holidays Editta.
