12/13/2010 7:00 Peter Stein, ASC, presented a beautifully-choreographed audio-visual about his father, German-American photographer, Fred Stein. Thiis was an outstanding event. Peter had more than 40 of Fred Stein's prints for us to see after the presentation. The presentation, itself, brought us through the life of Fred Stein from his youth in Dresden Germany, his flee from the Nazi's to Paris in the 1930's, his escape from an internment camp in France, again to avoid capture and certain death by the Nazi's moving his wife, young daughter, and himself to America in the 1940's.

Fred Stein's work started with a 35mm Leica, but later he moved to a Rolleiflex. All of his work is in black and white.

We hope that the world will awaken to the history and the marvelous work of Fred Stein in the near future.
