Photographer "Drift" Arrested at His Exhibition Opening
Photographer Isaac “Drift” Wright was arrested at his own solo exhibition opening at Robert Mann Gallery in Chelsea, New York, on Thursday night. NYPD officers charged him with third-degree trespassing, with an undercover officer reportedly present at the event. Wright, a former Army paratrooper known for climbing skyscrapers and restricted sites to capture high-altitude photographs, had previously served jail time in 2020 for evading police. His first solo show, titled "Coming Home," was intended to mark a fresh start, but the arrest occurred just two hours into the opening.
