Mikael Kennedy is a Brooklyn-based photographer whose wanderlust led him to hit the road for over a decade. Taking part-time jobs, sleeping at gas stations and occasionally even selling his blood for enough cash to buy film, he has always stayed on the move, documenting his Kerouac-esque tour of the America's cities, deserts and hinterlands via his favourite medium – the polaroid camera. Tonight [yesterday], he opens Shoot The Moon at the legendary Chelsea Hotel – an exhibition of 500 of his all-time favourite polaroids, which marks something of a symbolic homecoming for the snap-happy American prodigal and puts him in the company of Chelsea-haunting ghosts such as Mapplethorpe and Burroughs.
