Memory Made Me, Photos of Sean Cronan

Sean Cronan has been the head cheese at the Zoo York factory as their staff photographer for the last four years. He has been skating for about the last 24 years and shooting photos for 15 of them so he has quite the portfolio. His first published photo was a center fold in Thrasher of Jim Greco and since then he has traveled all over the world capturing endless photos some of which you have probably seen in magazines and not... even known. The opening reception for this exhibit is Friday June 3, 2011 from 6-9 pm at Channel 1 located at 220 State St in New Haven, CT. Memory Made Me is a free exhibit on display until August 7, 2011.

There is an after party at Cafe Nine from 9-1 am featuring music from Chuck Treece and McRad, The Boardlords, & The Vultures. Raffles all night long with prizes from Zoo York and Channel 1. The after party is 21+ and the door charge $5.
