As a survivor of Leukemia, he tapped this difficult personal struggle to live gratefully and ever more determined to find the beauty in everyday life. Through photography, he seeks breathe life into the unnoticed details and forgotten spaces of the urban environment. Rendering scenes in dazzling color, his imagery depicts the energy and spirit of the dynamic places all around us. Whether on foot or on his bicycle, he encourages his viewers to pay attention to their immediate surroundings in new ways.
David shares his insight into operating as an artistic professional in photography, the necessity of pushing your limits as an artist, getting paid, and keeping your creative fires burning.
Also, a big thank you to the Cuyahoga Valley Art Center for letting us use your main gallery to conduct the interview. It is a fantastic non-profit organization that teaches a variety of visual arts disciplines including painting, drawing and sculpture. We couldn't have done it without the professionalism and assistance of the staff.
