Pat Arnow is a freelance photographer
and writer who lives on the Lower East Side. She regularly
takes pictures for The
Chief, the New York civil employees’
weekly and covers the waterfront for Gotham
Gazette, an online publication about New York
City.
A native of Chicago, Pat and
her husband Steve Giles spent 21 years in the South—Huntington,
West Virginia, Johnson City, Tennessee, and Durham,
North Carolina. There she worked as editor of Now
and Then, a magazine about Appalachia, and
Southern
Exposure, the venerable hell-raising
journal of Southern politics and culture. She
also worked as culture editor of In
These Times, an alternative newsmagazine, covering
national and international politics and culture, and
as as a research editor at Reader's Digest.
When Pat and Steve were living
in North Carolina, they came to New York City for a
long vacation. They had such a good time, they went
back home, sold everything including four vehicles,
and moved to their favorite neighborhood, the Lower
East Side, where they have lived since 2000. For more,
