September’s edition of Thirst featured sound installations – a recounted story, an album by Scott Thorough recorded on a cassette tape, and the dulcet noises of subways from different countries — while Saskia Kahn and Brian Kelly showed their photos.
We also told stories honoring our heroes from childhood piano teachers to difficult students to mentors who have passed away.

She received her BFA from Brooklyn College and is Vice President of LightField, an bi-annual photography festival in Hudson, NY.
