Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota,
David began his photography interest at an early age. After serving in the
United States Air Force, he began his photography in Black and White film,
exposing the film in the camera followed by developing and printing in his
own darkroom. Once his career and family started he left photography behind
for some years, starting up again when he retired in 2007. He has since
re-developed his passion and is working in the world of digital photography
doing his darkroom work using a computer. He lives in Arizona and also
spends time in Minnesota. He is a member of Photography Society of America
(PSA), Photography West Camera Club and is a volunteer Trip Leader for

Arizona, Utah and other western states. David has led photo workshops to

Winter, Antelope Slot Canyons and others.
David is currently the Print

the administrator for PSA Group 39 a monochrome photography study group. He
competes in many local and international competitions and has won many
awards for his work. He was published on the cover of the 2009 Arizona

A statement by David:
I have a true passion for the art of photography and this passion continues
to drive my skills to new levels. I was once told “Photography is easy to
learn but takes a lifetime to accomplish” and I am on that journey.
