Here's what they're saying about Vagabond Vistas Photography:

"No matter what skill level, David has the knack of addressing each student's needs so that everyone walks away with new knowledge.  Somehow, amidst the concentration, foucusing and learning, we have a lot of fun, too."

      Margie Montet, Hamilton, NJ

"After taking one of David's intensive classroom workshops, I was naturally drawn to his Photo Tours to have him further assist in my creative development and hands-on knowledge of using my camera's manual controls.  David has an in-depth and practical understanding of digital camera operation, as well as a unique command of artistic composition and the ability to 'see' more creatively. Taking the time to have David help me to apply these skills and concepts on different, real subjects -- buildings, people, landscapes, nature, etc. -- has been an invaluable experience.  Having him at my side on a Photo Tour to demonstrate, instruct and critique has proven extremely important and has raised the quality of my photography considerably.  I'm looking forward to the next adventure!"

           Dan Walker, Pennington, NJ

"David's energy inspires those around him.  Thank you."

           Allen Naese, Brick, NJ

"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

"David is a thoughtful and attentive photography teacher. He brings his love of photography together with his enjoyment of teaching, for a memorable and valuable learning experience. He is deeply committed to helping each student move towards their artistic potential. I very much enjoyed learning from him."

           Julie Van Dore, New York City

"The Philadelphia photo tour was a fantastic learning experience. Not only did I learn a great deal about photography, but I also met some facinating individuals along the way. I have and will continue to recommend David's tours to my family and friends."

           Dan McElwee, Philadelphia, PA

"Creativity has absolutely nothing to do with what you do; but it has everything to do with how you do it. My recent photo tour with David increased my awareness of how to express myself dynamically through the lens of the camera.  Creativity is the ability to think in unhabitual ways. While most others photograph in a very traditional way, it is obvious David has given creative thought to his work; he will unleash your creative potential."

           Patty Balentine, Montville, NJ

"David is not only a highly-credible photojournalist, but he is also an equally-effective teacher of the craft. As part of our staff training, David produced a customized photography workshop for our reporters, providing them with the essential insight and skills to improve their own photography contributions to our publications. David's enthusiasm for his teaching is matched by his attention to detail, both as a photographer and as an instructor."

           Joe Emanski, Managing Editor, Community News Service (NJ)

"The panoramic views, as well as the insightful and detailed close-ups provide revelations of this world's beauty that many overlook.  Aesthetically mind-blowing."

           Jayne & Steph, Newtown, PA

"David's Vacation & Travel Photography workshop helped me significantly with my digital photography. I returned from my latest vacation with many great photos, thanks to the creative techniques that David taught in his class. The talent and passion that he has for photography is contagious."

           Toni Lewis, New Jersey

"David's remarkable talent as a photographer is matched by his ability to communicate as a teacher, and his unbridled enthusiasm to share information."

          John Ennis, Yardley, PA

"David's gifted sight of this world is so very healing, especially in these times..."

           Katherine Durbetaki, Princeton, NJ

"I really enjoyed the Intermediate Digital Photography Workshop. It was exactly what I needed!  The information was presented and questions were answered in a clear manner that was easy to understand. I love the handout, along with my notes it has now become a valuable tool for me. I am looking forward to participating in more of David's workshops."

           Elsa Santoro, Hunterdon, NJ

"I had a great time on David's uptown New York City tour. I had done this on my own several times before, but I didn't realize how much I could improve my picture taking with David's help along the way. His tips on adjusting my exposure and explaining how to handle certain situations made a big difference in my results!"

           Charles Smith, Jersey City, NJ

"Fantastic images! A feast for the eyes and the soul."

          Marlene Méndez

"David's course exceeded my expecations.  As a professional photographer starting up a new business, his tips and shared experiences provided insight not found in manuals.  David's enthusiasm and love of photography has inspired me to continue on my journey and to take a great shot!"

           Tracy Parikh, New Jersey
