Photographs by Steven M Friedman
About the Photographer: STEVEN M FRIEDMAN I have been taking photos for the better part of my life. I still have my original Brownie Hawkeye camera. I really started to hone my ability and knowledge when I began using a 4 x 5 view camera (everything is calculated manually) to take commercial product photos. Another great learning experience came when I acquired the rights to a professional soccer team’s yearbook (the now defunct NY Arrows). I was able to get press credentials to shoot in many different arenas. Today I shoot with a digital SLR. My photos represent a combination of my photo experience and my fifty plus years as a graphic artist. I use a computer to enhance my photos in Photoshop. I have won a number of awards for my photos... Black and White print of the year along with black and white Photographer of the Year in one of the photo clubs that I belong to. I have also received a Nassau County Citation for the juried LI Arts Council at Freeport photo show, an honorable mention in the Gurwin / Tiffen photo contest. Amityville Artists Circle juried competition awarded my photo, A Lonely Runner, best in show plus a third place for another photo are some of my photographic recognitions.

This book is dedicated to my family... Especially my wife Terry who is my best critic.
