Henry Yee's interest in photography as a form of artistic expression and historical preservation started at the age of 15 at Brooklyn Technical High School where he studied photography and photojournalism. Yee then earned his business degree from the University at Buffalo's Business School of Management. He has spent the last ten years on Wall Street consulting with Fortune 500 companies and is the owner of HY Ventures LLC which specializes in organizational development and IT/business systems management solutions.
As a collector and dealer of sports memorabilia and sports photography for over two decades Yee has handled millions of news photographs from public and private archives around the country including some of the hobby's finest examples. With his vast experience Yee has been able to amass one of the largest exemplar archives of news photo and wire photo stamping specimens in the world. He is the co-author of A Portrait of Baseball Photography published by MastroNet (2005). The landmark volume was the first exhaustive account of baseball photographs. |
