Photo District News named “Sleep” as one of the Best Photography Books of 2013.
The book launched with rave reviews and the team celebrated with friends, family and supporters in Boston and New York. The book release party in New York drew a notable crowd – among them, the renowned photographer (who also wrote the fore to the book), the late Mary Ellen Mark, was in attendance. The party in Boston was hosted by Ann McQueen, one of Ted’s dearest friends (and subject of a few sleep studies). In attendance were some of Ted’s peers, fellow artists and photographers – all very accomplished in their crafts.
