Greenfield-Sanders on Jim Carroll

In the summer of 1997, Timothy Greenfield-Sanders made this portrait of downtown poet and musician Jim Carroll, who died last Friday at the age of 60. Timothy was in the midst of making Lou Reed: Rock and Roll Heart for American Masters at the time, and he and Jim discussed rock and Reed that afternoon before their photo session. “He was charming, funny, and super cool,” Timothy recalls in his column this week at The Huffington Post. “And, what an incredible speaking voice.”
