He was a terrific photographer. I had bought several of his prints maybe 15 or 20 years ago and we started talking. I was supposed to meet up with him on a New York trip back then but it just never happened. My loss. Sweet dreams Dave.thank you for all of the art you leave behind.

Saddened to hear of David´s passing. I purchased over a dozen of his iconic NYC photographs for our Cornelia St apt in 2010. I followed him on FB and knew he had some health challenges. I now have his photographs adorning our CA home. Sending our condolences to Davids family. His work lives on.

Remembering Dave, one year on. I am doing a talk about photography of New York to my camera club in England and will mention Dave as my main influence. Photo from a walk in Central Park in 2009. He didn't normally bother with a tripod but brought it along in case I needed it!

A long time distance friend with whom I shared a passion for the arts. He has long been in my daily thoughts and will always remain a part of me. I miss you, Dave.

Dave and I became acquainted in 2000 via his website. Then progressed to emails and phone calls talking about B&W photography. He was a generous man with his knowledge of photography he shared with me and to other photographers over the years. He had a great sense of humor, an awesome story teller, and long-distance friend. Even during his health ailments, he found humor, perseverence, and shared his candid stories of human interaction during his stay at the assisted health care facility....

I knew David Beckerman through his beautiful website. We spoke on a number of occasions. I am a New Yorker now living in Pittsburgh and his
work brought back some wonderful memories. Fortunately I have a few of his prints which he autographed for me. I just found out about his passing this evening and I am deeply saddened.
