We look forward to Josh Friedman's program regarding our very own Bucks County.  It is one of the most charming and photogenic counties in the USA.  Let's sit back and enjoy this program.  I am sure we will have quite a few questions!

Here's Josh's message and history.  Thank you for sharing your vision with us...

Our family has been fortunate to call Bucks County our home for the past 23 years. In my presentation, "Bucks County's Beauty and History: A Photographic Tour," I will show many of my photographs of Bucks County, including: Covered Bridges; Washington Crossing Historic Park and the Revolutionary War; The Delaware Canal and Towpath; The Underground Railroad; Farms; architecture; etc. I will give a few stories related to these photographs, and I will describe some of the relevant history.

Josh Friedman Photography - Artist Statement:

Photography has been an important part of my life since I was very young, when I used a 110 Kodak Pocket Instamatic. In Junior High School I built and experimented with a pinhole camera. By High School, I converted a storage closet in my parents’ basement into a darkroom to develop photos. For the next 25 years, I shot with a series of traditional film SLR cameras. I approached the digital age of photography with some initial skepticism, but now I love the many opportunities for creativity which were not possible in the past.

In my photography, I focus primarily on landscapes, nature, and travel. My "home turf" of Bucks County, Pennsylvania is rich in natural beauty as well as history, and this is reflected in many of my images. My diverse interests are easy to see in my artwork: nature, rustic scenery, sports, wildlife, architecture, and urban landscapes.

I graduated from Franklin and Marshall College, where I was the president of the Student Arts Council. I went on to earn my Ph.D. in clinical psychology at Fairleigh Dickinson University, and I presently have a psychology practice in Lawrenceville, NJ. I am lucky to have a wonderful wife and two marvelous sons.

Over the past ten years, I have exhibited my photographs in many juried fine art shows, but I primarily sell my photographs through my online ETSY shop, “JoshFriedmanPhoto.” My photographs are now in hundreds of homes, offices and medical clinics in addition to being used for commercial use. Now my shop is almost 12 years old, and I have shipped my prints all over the world. Additionally, I have led photography tours in Bucks County, as I have given photography presentations on topics including composition, HDR (high dynamic range) photography, and Bucks County’s Beauty and History.
