Photographer Rich Klein has spent his life in many cities and towns across beautiful New York State. Born in Manhattan, raised on Long Island and a graduate of SUNY New Paltz, he has lived since 2006 in Sullivan County's Catskills, where he has shot thousands of photos.
He is a member of the Catskill Art Society and an associate board member of the Liberty Museum & Arts Center, where he helped curate a major Summer 2017 exhibit "Barns of the Catskills." In 2017-2018, his photojournalism works that featured local firefighters were on display in the windows of the Museum.
In May 2018, signed and framed prints from the Catskills book became part of a long-running exhibit and sale at the Villa Roma Resort in Callicoon, inside Eleanor's Country Kitchen. Among other local displays, his large photo print of the Roman Colosseum is also on display at Colosseo Family Restaurant and Pizzeria in Monticello.
He is a member of the Sullivan County Visitors Association and was previously a member of the Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce and the steering committee of the Bethel Council of the Arts.
Klein is the co-author of Massapequa: A Pictorial History Through the Eyes of Baby Boomers and has participated in more than 20 exhibits around Long Island in 2015-2016. He has a permanent photography exhibit at Northwell Health/GoHealth Urgent Care in his hometown of Massapequa, where a large print from that book is on permanent display at the Massapequa Public Library.
His fine art prints can be purchased here.
