M. D. Friedman is a poet, teacher, musician, photographer, digital artist and web master from Lafayette, Colorado where he lives with his wife, Mariamne Engle Friedman. In the spring of 2006 he retired from teaching in the public education factories to pursue the creative arts. His fourth book of poetry, Where We Reach, was recently released and combines his poetry with his original photographs and his first atempt at digital art. M. D. didn't stop there. He likes to push the limit of what digital creation can do and combine it all into something new.
