One of the original pioneers in the field of photographic mosaics, Feinson was the featured artist for Disneyland's 50th anniversary celebration in 2006 where he created the largest photographic mosaic ever made, spanning over 10,000sq ft and featuring live performers carrying photographs of themselves and other cast members. As part of the same celebration he created the world's first tri-level mosaic and 38 other large-scale mosaic works for Disney's 50th anniversary. The featured artist for the Grammy Awards 50th anniversary in 2008, Feinson's artwork was unveiled by Quincy Jones and Recording Academy President Neil Portnow and is now part of the permanent collection at the Grammy museum in Los Angeles.
