David began his travels as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Turkey and, when possible, has continued to travel with his wife, Shirley, hoping to observe animals in their natural settings.  His wish is that the photos on display will appeal to children, and perhaps even some adults. 

David describes his working style as "Push the button and hope for the best."

David’s animal photography exhibition, Thoughtful Animals, will be on display in the Broadmoor Assembly Room from Sunday, June 28-Friday, September 4.
