Breathing Life into a Copper Statue A Madison Avenue advertising executive, Ed Dooley, was selected to market the restoration project and roll out the national campaign. He chose Peter as the Official Photographer of the Statue of Liberty Ellis Island Foundation because he had the singular ability to imbue human qualities to the copper statue. Peter photographed the statue in a close up, personal relationship with the lady in the harbor. It is evident in the photographs. Countless people have taken photos of the Statue of Liberty trying to imitate Peter's unique perspective but without success. His body of work documenting the restoration project remains unequivocal, historical and indelible.
