“In many times being a photographer, it turns out that the in-between moments are quite often the most interesting, because your subjects let their guard down.”

David has developed a genre he calls WESTERN NOIR, which he has explored in his three monographs: Cerro Gordo, The Days Change at Night, and Candy Mountain, which was published last month. "We look for a place within us that gets lost over time. Sometimes we awake and find it. A place where bodies levitate, horses run wild, and we ride into the perfect sunset."

CANDY MOUNTAIN GOES TO PARIS!  After 'CANDY MOUNTAIN's exhibition opening at One Trick Pony Gallery in LA,  David will be mounting a new iteration of the work June 23-30 at Ofr. Galerie in Paris, to coincide with Fashion Week.
