Oh yes, thank you David Elder you big phony for celebrating a history you had nothing to do with creating, after kicking out the guy who did, Stanley Bard, the majority shareholder and manager for more than half a century. By my count that's two old men you tried to screw out fo what was rightfully theirs, coutning Piri Thomas. One photo show hardly makes up for what Stanley did for 5 decades of artists. Arthur Miller would have torn a strip from you if he were still alive.Bring back the Bards!!

Celebrate the history of this incredible piece of American history as they destroy it. How american. Bring back the Bards!

I wish you would show more of each photo- this is a great celebration of a New York historical landmark. It would be great to see it as a feature documentary.

It was a wonderful show and photo exhibit. I was part of the 100th, choreographed a dance in the gothic staircase and I got to be part of the 125th with my husband Lee Levine's photographs.

I thank curators Linda Troeller and David Elder for giving me the opportunity to contribut to this show. My photo was the oldest, of my great great grandfather the Chelsea Architect, Philip G. Hubert, the genesis of the decades-long enduring creative spirit that has nurtured and inspired for over a century. Catherine

I was grateful for the opportunity to have three photos in the show and thought Linda did a great job. The Chelsea is such a big part of my everyday life living in Chelsea, I'm glad there was such a great turn out and response. Ray Block

Great coverage & timely, thank you! I'm among 60 photographers (US & other countries) whose work was chosen for "Chelsea Hotel Through the Eyes of Photographers." But primary credit goes to co-curators Linda Troeller(hotel resident & wellknown photographer)and David Elder(Chelsea Hotel VP.) They shared a dream to celebrate the

125th birthday of NYC's legendary creative cauldron and they did, superbly. We expect more to come from this and your video is a help. Mary Ann Lynch
