| 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." Christian Hochenberger, Shawnee High School Photography Educator, New Jersey |

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. |

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. |

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?
