The Catskills of Sullivan County: A Photography Journey

The Catskills of Sullivan County: A Photography Journey grew out of a desire by author Rich Klein to capture the essential beauty of the region in the early 21st century. Having spent every summer in the area from 1967 through 1977 at two sleepaway camps, he noticed that so much of the landscape had not changed much when he moved full time to Bethel, NY in 2006. The book focuses on landscapes but also includes some historic buildings, wildlife and even some residents at public gatherings. Klein, who owns Rich Klein New York Photography, also co-authored Massapequa: A Pictorial History Through The Eyes of Baby Boomers, published in 2014.

Photographer Rich Klein has spent his life in many areas of beautiful New York State. Born in Manhattan, raised on Long Island and for the last decade in Sullivan County's Catskills, he has shot thousands of unique landscapes and cityscapes over his short career. He is the coauthor 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.
