David has been involved deeply in the world of photography since his student days at Columbia. He began to photograph architecture-based images in 1984 which became his major interest. Much of the work is documentation of the industrial and commercial built environment in Quebec and Ontario. Special interests include photography of brick buildings of the late 19th and early 20th century, small business and commercial store fronts, institutional and vernacular architecture, and churches and synagogues. Two-thirds of the work is in colour. He has also photographed architecture in Northern Italy, Scotland, and Berlin. Besides his architectural and urban landscape work which is ongoing, he has been working on an extended essay on Toronto’s Mount Pleasant Cemetery which is near completion, and since 1998 he has photographed Klezmer (Yiddish music) musicians and their students at an annnual workshop that takes place for a week every summer at a camp in the Laurentians north of Montreal.
