What
they're saying about David's speaking engagements: "When
I asked David to come in to speak to my photography students,
I was expecting that my students would get a solid understanding
of travel photography. I was surprised to see so many of my students
wanting to learn more about the places David had traveled. My
students really became engaged in David’s work and wanted
to stay even after the bell had rung for their next class. Through
David’s work the world really came alive for my students,
they were seeing places that they had only heard or read about
before. Now they were seeing and hearing about different cultures
and what it was like to travel in and take pictures of these
far away places."

It's
safe to say that David Simchock's path through life has been
anything but typical. How often does someone pack in
a corporate management career, wander around the planet
for three
years, and then establish himself as a successful artist?
For
obvious reasons, David's "story" has attracted
quite a bit of media attention since returning to his home
state of New
Jersey and founding Vagabond Vistas. Equally
intriguing are the "stories behind the photos" that
David continues
to create as his business and life evolve.
More
and more often, David is being asked to talk about his travels,
his life experiences and, of course, his photography. David's
presentations can be customized for many different types
of venues and the content is designed to fit the objectives
of the
audience.

GALLERY
TALKS
A
picture is worth a thousand words...
In
conjunction with David's high level of activity in the gallery
and exhibition scene, he can often be found giving a "gallery
talk", whether he has a single piece in a group show,
or is enjoying a solo exhibition. His topics range from
his own life story, to the stories behind his images, to details
of the creative process and marketing as an artist.

ARTISTIC
& INSPIRATIONAL PRESENTATIONS
Whether
David is showing his work or not, he is available
to present an intriguing and colorful interactive event for public
galleries, art clubs, schools or private
organizations. Armed with a digital projector, a selection
of awe-inspiring images and a few unusual travel tales, David's presentations
inspire his audience members to "create" their
path
through life, rather than simply "discover" what
society has laid out for them. |
