• Now offering fine art prints in metal, acrylic and canvas.
• Archival textured watercolor paper, Giclee.
• I printed "Giclees" for the man who coined this term! We worked with top artists. These are HIGH END prints found in the best art galleries!

My Photos in Museums, Exhibits, Docs, Books, Mags, Merch and Bootlegged

My photos are prominently displayed at the Punk Rock Museum. Exhibited in Grammy Museum, licensed by Rock Hall of Fame, Metropolitan Museum in NYC, Smithsonian, MOCA LA, MOCA CT, etc. Also in CD, DVD and cassette covers, backs, booklets etc.

Collected by major performers and fans like you! I'm a pro. Been working in this field a long, long time.

I love the JOY people get from my photos. Come get some JOY. 

About Me, Jenny Lens, the Girl with the Camera Eye [per Patti]

I live and breathe my photos. Devoted nearly 50 yrs of hard work, constant study, acquiring boring fakata tech knowledge and skills only for ONE reason.

I love early punk rock! I love the energy and life within my photos. I love love love when people's faces light up hearing or reading the stories behind my photos. Seeing photos they've never seen before.

I love when people display my photos on their walls. Often the "visual backbone" of books and mags. Plus merch (mostly bootlegged). Mostly misrepresented in documentaries.

I've been an artist my whole life. My art always in school displays, student shows, galleries, museums way since I was a kid. I got a camera merely to photograph my art!

Earned BA in Art, CSUN, then Master of Fine Arts (MFA) from CalArts. With honors. I created in cloth, yarns, wood, metal, semi-precious stones and beads, clay, plastic.

Then I fell in love with Punk. First Patti's Horses.  Then the Ramones debut. Never heard anything like those two releases.

Life was never the same. 

After seeing the Ramones LA debut, the next night, August 12, 1976, on my way out, I grabbed my camera. I wanted to photograph Dee Dee's face.

Never dreaming that act would change my life forever. Feels like a dream.

Always studied art and movie history. Which led me to documenting punk's early history from a west coast POV.

Sunny warm Los Angeles with so much creative discontented people. Wildest most colorful fashions. Innovative graphics and fanzines. Independent record companies started by punk fans. When we punks ruled West Hollywood and the depths of Hollywood.

We rocked, created and had so much wild free fun! So much freedom to create, imagine, do, be.

And we influenced world culture in so many ways that people don't even realize. My photos prove our influence before there was such a thing as influencers. BUT we were doing OUR thing. We didn't care who we influenced or not!

We were expressing ourselves as creative human beings. What fun times! And that's what my Photos, True Tall Tales and I are about!

I worked my ass off since then dealing with gawd-awful tech and too many people. ONLY to bring YOU the best photo experiences of that time.
