Pursuing parallel explorations in Photography and Printmakingmy interest lies in trying to capture and record how we see and record memory.
There are no Kodak moments, but rather a syncopated succession of moments that combine to recall or define an event. Much of my work explores an image’s ability to fix a memory through the use of multiple layers, paired images and overprinting multiple photos.
Images, whole moments in time are combined to create a representation of an event that documents and expresses that event in a more complete and expressive manner than can be captured in a single instant.
Currently David splits his time between personal projects, private clients and his responsibilities as Managing Director of the Rhode Island Center for Photographic Arts. @RIPhotoArts or riphotocenter.org. Read More…

I fall under the spell of faded paintings on buildings, billboards, as well as period innovations like gas pumps and clocks. Discovering the unique, finding the extraordinary in the mundane, honoring the forgotten and recording the soon to change are the fuel of my journey.
I am fascinated with the emotional qualities of light and find myself drawn to the intensity, shape, direction, and color of light in addition to the subject it reveals. The metaphor is of the light within me. It has been lingering, waiting for the right moment to emerge. This emergence is spiritual, seeing light in the darkness and coming out of the darkness.
Photography is my vehicle for self-expression, for delving deeper into my ‘why’. As I listen more to my intuitive self while understanding more about the medium’s expressive qualities my vision becomes more uniquely my own. Read More…
