DAVID BECKERMAN

Dave and I were classmates at NYU grad film school and worked together there and remained in touch. I miss his sharp wit and his kind heart. A warm, talented man is missed. - Owen

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.

This artist has warmed my heart with his stunning capture of a beloved gem. We are so lucky to have known him through his brilliant eye.

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.

I am so sorry to hear this -David took photos of where I grew up to where we put my Mom's ashes in the East River..my sincere condolences to his family and if Anis reading this can you contact me about me buying a photo ? XxxGigu

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.
