A (Pa)Trick Up Their Sleeves

Legendary New York nightlife photographer Patrick McMullan got a surprise recently, when four of his lens men decided to start a rival agency. From left to right: That's Billy Farrell, after whom the new agency is named, with Joe Schildhorn, Neil Rasmus and David X. Prutting. Clients are torn between their longstanding need to get "Patricked," and their appreciation of the Billy Farrell Agency's ability to "master the snap and make it richer, make it pop more.” I, myself, am far more interested in the cat fights that are bound to ensue around town, at some of the city's toniest events. I hope someone's taking pictures.
