ECAD 2016
My 2nd year photographing explorers, adventurers and their benefactors at the glamorous Explorers Club Annual Dinner, held this year at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City.
Richard and Laetitia are famous for dressing up in full outrageous outfits, and each year I look forward to photographing them.
Video game developer Richard Garriott de Cayeux is also known by his alter egos, Lord British in Ultima and General British in Tabula Rasa. A well-known figure in the video game industry, Garriott de Cayeux was originally a game designer and programmer, but now engages in various aspects of computer game development and business. He’s dressed here as Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, a mythological figure who is featured in a body of legends tracing back to the period of the Song dynasty.
