Andy Warhol once said, “If you don’t know Patrick McMullan, you ought to get out more!”


The legendary artist’s words rang true as iconic social photographer, Patrick McMullan, honored the 10th anniversary of his book, “so8os: A Photographic Diary of a Decade, with an exhibition at c/o The Maidstone, on June 22. Celebrated with an exhibit of his work curated by Eric Firestone, Patrick is known as “a consummate chronicler”, beginning his career in the 1980’s shooting the downtown scene with nothing more than a Polaroid Instamatic camera which he eventually turned into a full service photography and digital imaging agency: Patrick McMullan Company.  KDH has known and worked with Patrick for over a decade in NYC, and we love seeing his work on display in the Hamptons.
