David started his athletic career in rowing… getting blisters at 4:30 am for 6 straight years. From what I understand, he was pretty good at it too – he spent his last two years trying (unsuccessfully) to make the US national lightweight team. When it was time for a change (and a switch to triathlon), his rowing fitness helped him get darn fast, darn quick. Still in his early twenties, newbz has already picked up a couple overall wins, and just got accepted onto the USAT mideast elite team for this upcoming season. He’ll be racing all over - at the Desoto Triple T, at Rockman and Powerman Ohio, and at Beaches2Battleship (for his first ironman-distance race). It should be a good season for him, and I can only imagine he’ll get better as time goes on.
Professionally, David is still a full-time student, studying photography at Denison University. He hasn’t finished the degree yet, but he’s already turning out professional-quality work. As you’d expect, he shoots some athletic subjects, but usually finds a cool way to do them – not just documenting the action, but showing the effort and emotion below the surface. He shoots a lot of non-sports stuff too, and really, I think that’s where he produces the best stuff. A lot of work with cool subjects, work with cool lighting, and just altogether good composition. I’ve posted a few short samples of his work below, but a lot more can be seen on his blog. David can print everything on there for a pretty good price, so if you like what you see, by all means, help a brother out.
