Joel Grey, Dancer, Actor, Photographer - Gothamist (Creative People Create!)

From stage to television to film, Joel Grey has acted, danced, and sung in virtually every entertainment medium over the course of his 60-year career. You might know him best as the Master of Ceremonies from 1966's Broadway hit Cabaret and its later 1972 film incarnation, but you've probably also seen him in numerous TV guest appearances on programs including House, Oz, and Star Trek: Voyager, not to mention roles in films like Choke and Dancer in the Dark.

In the past few years, though, Grey has applied his talent to a different form of art—not dramatic but visual. Photography has become Grey's latest endeavor, and now he's releasing his third book, titled 1.3: Images from My Phone. Comprised of 1.3-megapixel photographs taken entirely with his cell phone's camera feature, the book pulls together snapshots of daily life and urban scenery. Grey recently talked to us about the unique project and his artistic pursuits. He also shared with us a few photos from the book, which we've reproduced in the gallery below.

Interesting.
