When the founder of the pizza blog <em>Slice</em> discovered <em>Pizzacentric</em> he penned <a href="http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2011/02/sites-we-like-pizzacentric.html?ref=search" target="_blank">this flattering review</a>.</span></span></p> <p> <br /> <span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;">My clients include the <em>Edible Queens, Edible Brooklyn, </em>&<em> Edible Manhattan</em> Magazines (photography + writing), Peter Luger Steak House, Pio Pio Restaurants (photography + website copy), Amaru Pisco Bar (photography + website copy), Brennan and Carr Restaurant, Dartmouth College, Manhattan Country School, Center for Employment Opportunities, the AARP, the COPD Foundation, the League of Conservationist Voters, Serious Eats "Slice" Blog (photography + writing), the <em>New York Daily News</em>, <em>New York Times, </em>and the (UK)<em> </em><em>Guardian</em>.  </span></span></p> <p> <br /> <span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;">I earned my BA in English from New York University and an MBA from Georgetown.</span></span></p> <p> <span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;">I reside with my wife and seven-year old daughter (whose favorite pizza these days is the one I make from the recipe in Jim Lahey's fantastic book "My Bread"). We have a Welsh Springer named Billie Holiday and yes, she sings!</span></span></p> <p> <br /> <span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;">Besides photography, I can create custom books for businesses, families, and individuals; produce websites; write copy; and consult for restaurants.  </span></span></p> <p> <span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;">--</span></span></p> <p> <span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;">Here are two websites that I produced, photographed, and wrote copy for:<br /> <a href="http://piopio.com" target="_blank">Pio Pio</a>, an eight-location New York City mini-chain (site launched in January 2013); and <a href="http://www.amarubar.com" target="_blank">Amaru</a>, a restaurant/bar in Queens (launched in November 2011).</span></span></p> <p> <span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;">--</span></span></p> <p> <span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;">Contact info: <strong>Tel. +1-718-852-2262, Cell +1-917-415-1766, email me at <a href="mailto:michael@msbphotography.com?subject=seeking%20info">michael@msbphotography.com</a></strong></span></span></p> <p>  </p> <div> <p> <span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;"><a href="https://twitter.com/#!/michaelberman" target="_blank">Follow me<span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);"> on Twitter</span></a><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">.</span></span></span></p> </div> <p>  </p> </span> <div> </body>
