How sad, the loss of Dave Friedman. He witnessed and photographed the incredible history of Shelby American. His photography in black and white captured the personalities of the people, the building and development of the cars, the races etc. Again, an incredible archive of images.
Condolences to his family and friends.

Godspeed.

What a great Photographer! He was doing it back when it took way more skill and effort to accomplish successful shots! We salute you Sir!!

His photos help maintain the legacy of the cars, racers and personnel of an amazing era.  I had the pleasure of chatting with Dave at a the Indianpolis SAAC Convention when his Shelby American book was being released.  He was such an interesting man and a keen eye photographer. While he will be midded, his works, thanksfully, remain.
