Statement:
My imagery is about discovery. It takes me to places I have never been, places that free me from the
pressures of a clock driven world, places that heal. I'm most excited when in tune with the underlying
flow and energy of the ordinary. I seek to reveal the essence of a moment or place gone unnoticed. I
love showing things in new ways, using the elements of surprise, mystery and playfulness, fused with
design and movement.
Appreciations
"Not another "nature photographer" or simply mimesis here. David has an "eye" yes, but mindfulness
too. His photos are visual haiku. They open and empty and change us. David is a gift to all of us."
• Robert Beckmann, Artist and Muralist
"You never cease to amaze me. Your work is consistently brilliant."
• John Davis, Davis and Cline Gallery
"I am overwhelmed by your design sensibilities and sensitivity. Simply beautiful images!"
• Michael Gibson, Artist
"Your images are so exact, so weightless, so crystalline, like a perfectly executed grand jete."
• Lora McKenna, University of the Arts, Philadelphia
"I am rarely so thrilled with a body of work that I find myself seeking out the opportunities
to see it again and again." • Linda Griffith, Photographer, Playwright
"These images blew me away. I believe that they are about time and anticipation and mystery."
• Ian Summers, Creativity Coach
"Your range of talent is awesome. Your images are evocative, unique and captivating."
• Joan Franklin, Artist
"I truly love your work. There is something intensely intimate about these images. You have a direct
connection to your subject. Amazing." • Virginia Nicolaou
