Trip to NYC to visit the Peter Lik gallery in Soho

All I can say is WOW! If you have never see the work from Peter Lik "in person" this is something you need to do....This guy is amazing! I have been following his work for some time now and his Soho gallery finally opened and I couldn't wait to make a visit.

Peter basically came from nothing in Austraila and lived out of his van. He started taking photos when he was 8 years old and became very famous for his work today. Numerous awards and many galleries is what its all about. Lik became the master in landscape photography. His works are not just little prints hanging on a wall, they are very expensive works of art that range in size from somewhat small to 4x8 feet and bigger!! You have to see the photos in person. His work is also amazing because of the was they change colors as the lights in the room dim. check out his link and you will get a better understanding of this self tought legend.
