"Desert Realty," "Urban Realty," and "Western Realty" series are a testament to his unique perspective as a photographer and his ability to find beauty in unexpected places. By digitally enhancing these photographs of buildings, he transforms ordinary structures into works of art. It is interesting to note that he finds inspiration for his "realty" series primarily in the United States, which may indicate a cultural significance or connection to the architecture in his home country. It also raises questions about the differences in architecture and what draws our attention and appreciation. These series are a representation of Freeman's artistic vision and his ability to see the world in a different way.

Ed Freeman stands out as a true original. His innovative use of in-camera and Photoshop manipulation has established him as a leader in the field and has earned him recognition from audiences and fellow artists alike. He continues to inspire and challenge us to see the world in a new light, and to appreciate the power of photography as an art form.

But Freeman's artistic journey did not stop there. He continues to learn and evolve as an artist, teaching Photoshop and playing piano in his spare time. He has also taken up the challenge of learning Mandarin Chinese and remains determined to write the Great American Symphony someday.
