A director of information technology from 9-5, an artist at heart always, his circuitous route to this show began way back in high school, when he shot in black & white and developed the photos in his home darkroom. As often happens, the “busy-ness” and business of life took him away from photography, but his creative eye and artist’s heart remained. His photographic spirit re-emerged with the birth of his son in 1994 and he has been clicking away since. The strength of David’s photography is his ability to reveal the inconspicuous within the everyday. He purposefully looks for the overlooked, so that his lens may zoom in to uncover hidden geometric and repeating patterns within architecture, as well as highlight contrasting and textural elements in the world around us. This approach and perspective can be seen in “Spiral Iron Railing,” where, through David’s viewfinder, the handrail of an historic house in Frederick City – one previously unseen as we hurry by each day – is revealed as an artistic and appealing spiral, an organic element that appeals through its simplicity. After viewing David’s images, one’s own eyes are then opened to such occurrences as we travel through our own lives.
David’s photographic philosophy can be summed up in the phrase, “Shoot, shoot, shoot…and then shoot some more!” He has had many opportunities to shoot and hone his creative and technical skills during the past several years. The Fall of 2006 marked his professional debut, in the Hyattstown Mill Arts Project’s “Our Sense of Place” exhibit. In December 2006, his images were on display at the Frederick Camera Clique members’-only exhibit at the Delaplaine Visual Arts Center and at a two-person show at the Cultural Arts Center in downtown Frederick. In 2007 David had 2 solo shows. His images were on display at the Urbana Regional Public Library and at the Weinberg Center for the Arts. In December 2008, David was exhibited at the “Peace on Earth” art show at Studio Eleven in Frederick, Maryland.
A 22-year resident of Frederick County, David lives in Woodsboro with his wife, Michelle, and their two children, Evan and Claire.
