Dave Bledsoe lives and works in Manhattan where he photographs events and entertainment gathering throughout the boroughs of New York. He also enjoys landscape and fine art photography, actively seeking out “found photographs” of the abstruse and out of place objects and images. His work is featured extensively in the New York news and entertainment website gothamist.com, and appeared in the Wall Street Journal Metropolis feature. Dave photographs have also featured in numerous other local and national blogs and media sites. Recently, Dave has assisted the Improv Everywhere group in documenting their missions! Dave shoots both digital and film formats, actively collects antique cameras and is a frequent contributor of digital art to Fark.com.

He pays the day to day bills working as a Veterinary Technician in a busy Manhattan Veterinary Hospital. In addition to photography, Dave has published works of poetry and had a stage play produced. He lives in Harlem with two cats, far to many books and an ever increasing number of cameras.
