Patrick’s self-published photography book, "Tar", was the catalyst for his late-career emergence as a professional photographer. "Tar" consists of several personal short stories and prose entries about Patrick’s early days living in New York City, and his experiences as a drug addict and self-abuser. An early break came for Patrick when close friend and artist, Vincent Gallo, specially requested Patrick over the late Richard Avedon for the cover of British magazine, "Flux".
