I considered Patrick to be in the photography company of Larry Clark, Michel Comte, Jan Saudek. I’m always excited to see his new work. Tar weighs heavy on the soul. What it lacks in size and quantity it makes up with heart and quality. This is a first book for GOOD BROWN PRESS; the production is perfect bound 8×10, 50 page has a catalog style design with a bronze cover and gold foil lettering.

Photo School

Hoelck and photography peer Michael Muller started a program called Photo School together. Photo School is a series of online tutorial videos that offer aspiring photographers lessons in everything from camera phone photography to complex lighting techniques. Longtime friends, Hoelck and Muller founded Photo School to fill a void in traditional photography education as well as allow a community of photographers at all skill and professional levels to connect and advance their craft. [18][19]
