Inspired by his visits to Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren’s Let It Rock shop in London, Ben Rey began wearing his own self-made punk fashions in the 1970s and just never stopped once he relocated to New York City. He has since become a familiar sight on the streets all over the city, a walking, talking fashion institution. Larry Baumhor met Ben Rey at the Garage Antique Flea Market and over the two decades they’ve been friends, got to know him and photograph him.

Larry Baumhor does more than sell rare photographs; he also takes them---with an eye for the eccentric and unusual. He has also written several books of prose and on occasion posts his performance art and poetry readings on You Tube.
