On January 14, Chronogram held a pop-up portrait shoot on a frigid afternoon at the Art Effect’s Trolley Barn gallery at the east end of Main Street in Poughkeepsie. Proud citizens responded to the call and braved a snowy afternoon to be photographed by David McIntyre. Thanks to all who showed up and to Jaime Ransome, Nicole Fenichel-Hewitt, and the staff of the Art Effect for hosting us. Thanks to Rossi’s for the sandwiches and Goodnight Kenny for the apres-shoot cocktails. Come out to the February issue launch party at Goodnight Kenny, 27 Academy Street, on Monday, February 6, from 4:30-7pm.
