Mr Sweet collected all kinds of photographic items during his lifetime , not because these items were going to be valuable but because of his love of photography , the development of process and function of cameras . Who else can say they made a living with their hobby .    Ozzie Sweet  was a sports photographer whose best work in photography was in creating an image, not capturing one. According to the New York Times, "Sweet's signature images from the 1940s through the 1950s and into the 1960s, many in the fierce hues of increasingly popular color film that emulated the emergent Technicolor palette of American   movies, helped define — visually, anyway — an era. (In Case you never heard of Ozzie Sweet Here are some facts )<br>" Legendary photographer Ozzie Sweet, who produced more than 2,000 cover photos for magazines ranging from Time, Sports Illustrated and Saturday Evening Post to Cosmopolitan, and Field and Stream, was perhaps best known for his sports photography, especially the many cover shots of baseball players that he took for Sport Magazine during the late 1940s and early 1950s.<br>“People know him for his photos of Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio,”  “He would go to spring training every year and  He shot all the big players, then he’d have 11 months to do whatever he wanted. He sold many covers to publishers of romance novels and magazines. He really found a niche there.<br>”After leaving the Army, Sweet spent a couple of years as Newsweek’s chief photographer,some of his subjects included Albert Einstein, Ingrid Bergman and baseball pitcher Bob Feller. The Feller photo drew the attention of Sport Magazine, and Sweet left Newsweek in 1947 to focus on freelancing, which he did for the rest of his life.
