Ricky Powell, famous street photographer referenced throughout the careers of the Beastie Boys and Run DMC, is showing 20 years of photos at Sugarhead Quarters in the LES. The opening reception is 7pm to 9pm October 7th, 2008 and runs until December 7th, 2008.

“Ricky is one of those rare individuals who has the uncanny ability to always find himself in the right place at the right time, and he has the pictures to prove it…Whatever function, show, party, or moment in time was occurring, Ricky would be there, camera round his neck, going for his shot in his old-school, Kevin McHale, off-balance, get-the-shot-then-bust-his-ass style.”–Mike D
