"PLASTIC LETTERS" is a 19 piece display focusing on both of Blondie's performances in New York City in 1999. Images from The Town Hall and Madison Square Garden concerts recount the band's triumphant return to their hometown. These framed photos are available for sale by the photographer. - Joe Ryan Website

....Ryan is a good photographer and I am using the word "good" with the greatest respect. His shoots are clean and technically flawless, necessary for any rock photographer, but there also that quality that goes beyond good, and that
comes from the energy of someone who loves what he is doing. It produces that something extra -- the shoot, the expression and the moment that makes you just want to say, "Wow, that looked like an amazing show!" You might have missed the Town Hall show but don't miss the work of Joe Ryan....

Currently, Joe is working with many up and coming bands such as Joydrop, Grinder, Melissa Reaves and Life in the Balance. His work will be featured in a soon to be released book on the Grateful Dead and two forthcoming books on Blondie - Blondie: Legacy, Influence, Reunion and The Blondie Anthology: Contemporary Writings on the World's Greatest New Wave Band....
