I LOVE NEW HAVEN has been a volunteer project since it started in 2012 and it would have stopped a long time ago if not for the help of a great group of volunteer photographers that attempt to capture the people, places and things that make New Haven, New Haven. If you love ILNH, be sure to say thanks to the below photographers. I’m certainly thankful for the help and creativity they’ve contributed to this fun project.

Tif, apprentice mathematician, picked up a fancy camera in the middle of summer 2014 as a way to calm his compulsive buying disorder. To his delight, this spontaneous acquisition has since then become a true life companion: freeing him from the daily isolation, bringing him joy during good and bad days.
Through his participation in I Love New Haven, Tif seeks to reveal beauty in the everyday New Haven, and to connect various communities via bridges built by his lenses.

Lucy Gelman
Lucy picked up a camera 18 months ago, when she joined the staff of the New Haven Independent and Paul Bass told her to get her photographic act together. A relatively new New Havener, she loves the beautiful, quirky and magic things that happen all over this city and tries to document them one shutter click at a time. In her other life, she is an art historian.
