PETA and the Streets - Interview with Tracy Habenicht

Animal lover and copy editor for PETA, Tracy Habenicht recently leapt head long into the world of street photography. She may be new to the genre, but she brings a fresh perspective to the camera and a wonderful discussion to the microphone.

Beginning her interest in December of 2016, Tracy immediately discovered a love of photographing people and her surroundings. Throughout this episode we explore her work with PETA [yes, we briefly discussed the baboon selfie], her path to the camera, artistic inspirations, women in photography and so much more.

Experience makes us better - this is an accepted constant in pretty much any industry. But, its a fresh eye that can usually discover what a veteran eye can often overlook. This is the benefit of talking with new street photographers and why having Tracy on the show was so much fun.

This episode brought to you by Glass Key Photo in San Francisco – Get your analog gear, film, repairs and more at 1230 Sutter Street, just off Van Ness Avenue in mid-town San Francisco. Open 7 days a week, 12pm-6pm.
