About Fred Minnick Photography
I am an international writer and photographer who has photographed everything from the Iraq war to professional sports to food. My favorite subject is food and wine. I am also the author of Camera Boy: An Army Journalist's War in Iraq (Hellgate Press).
Fred Minnick is an international writer and photographer based in Louisville, Kentucky. He has written and photographed for magazines news organizations all over the world, including MSN, Costco Connection, ELDR Magazine, Restaurants & Institutions, Sante Magazine, International-Sommelier, Tasting Panel, QSR Magazine and many others. He specializes in food and beverage, but can write about anything. He has covered the Iraq War, business, sports, food, wine, cocktails and just about everything else.
Fred Minnick has written three nonfiction books and is a contributing author to Simon & Schuster's The Blog of War. In 2008, Certified Angus Beef commissioned Minnick to write its company history book, which tells the fascinating story of the country's first branded beef program.
His writings, especially "NCO Alley," have been critically acclaimed. Writes Harvey Olsen: "Very earthy, very gritty, very you-are-there tales from the front line. I imagine that to civilians, some of the oddball, high-spirited antics in NCO Alley will seem incomprehensible, but those with military experience will be able to relate and will get a huge kick out of it. I don't know if I'll ever get that 'like a coyote ravishing a housecat' line out of my head." In addition to The Blog of War, Fred Minnick wrote a memoir about his Iraq experience. Working titled Camera Boy: An Army Journalist's War In Iraq , the book delves into the Iraq controversy. The combination of experience and image, intention and reality, never appears in newspapers or on television in quite so convincing and graphic terms. This book hits bookshelves fall 2009.
