Life back in focus

VETERAN New York society photographer Patrick McMullan is getting back behind the camera after battling cancer. McMullan, who had surgery for thyroid cancer in January, was spotted snapping pics at a dinner party last week thrown by lawyer and scenester Lieba Nesis. “I have been working regularly since April,” the lensman — who has been capturing everyone from the city’s elite to Hollywood A-listers for decades — told Page Six. He is even planning to head out to the Hamptons this summer. “I do hope to be working out east, as I have for 40 years now,” he said of his plans, joking, “Of course, I’ll pick and choose the ones that have air conditioning, if you know what I mean.”
