Previously, I explained how my photographic work continues to explore the tradition of street photography as demonstrated by Henri Cartier Bresson, Garry Winogrand, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, Diane Arbus, Robert Adams, and William Eggleston. I also said that in aspiring to emulate such fore-runners of photography, I am not trying to imitate their styles as much as I am trying to understand their approaches to photography and their individual visions of the world.
I sooo impressively said that the finished, uncropped, and successful photo should be one that concisely reflects the feeling and energy engaged on “the street.” Again pompously I stated that the photo, rigorously structured, gracefully incisive, and dialectically ironic, should consciously or unconsciously point to a life beyond the scope of the photo’s frame edge.
Well, blah, blah, blah.
Photography is simpler than what I stated earlier.
Photography is not "passive" its "passive aggressive". So go out there and shoot and then after that shoot some more.

"David LOVES to play in photography! I love the fact that he loves his digital as much as he loves his film... (well, it seems to me anyway). His passion for photography is infectious and I look forward to future photography safaris with him!
Of course, I HAVE to think of him everyday when I complete my photo a day requirements!"29th November, 2007

"David has three eyes, the two he uses to see with normally and that
amazing "third eye" that few of us ever acquire in a life time of taking pictures."28th March, 2007

"I met David originally through his images on flickr and recently had the opportunity to meet him in LA this past weekend. To meet him is a real pleasure. He is so passionate about photography and film. He took us to some of the greatest places to shoot the streets in LA. It comes out of every pore. David not only knows photography, he knows the greatest places to eat!!! And that's important too!
I thoroughly enjoy seeing him in action, and the images from our time together. I look forward to seeing more of his work, am happy to call him my friend, and look forward to seeing him again in the future.
David, thanks again for your hospitality and your passion for photography!
