David's "calling is to help photographers make photographs that light a spark in people, that communicate clearly, that captivate imaginations and grab the attention and hearts of the people who will see them". He is a photographer, workshop leader, book author, creative instigator and stand-up comedian. The Heart of the Photograph is a 90 minutes long with some time for Q&A. During the presentation David will explore 10 powerful ideas about creating more engaging photographs... Everyone who attends his presentation will be given 2 FREE eBooks, and the presentation will be recorded and made available for club members to watch later. David has reserved July 13 for us, but we still have to work out some of the logistics...
