Earlier this year I was asked by the fashion house ANTHROPOLOGIE if I would be interested in producing a personal body of work for their new arts based online site. THE ANTHROPOLOGIST

I decided along with my 16 year old daughter RACHAEL to go on a road trip and to explore and document a time of change in both our lives. There was no creative restrictions on the project in any shape or form and hopefully the images convey the freedom and intimacy this allowed. I would like to thank ANTHROPOLOGIE (in particular TREVOR LUNN and NANCY IHLENFELDT) for making this journey possible and allowing both RACHAEL and myself the opportunity to create not only a document but  a special memory that will be a very important part of our lives.

David was one of the 11 photographers chosen to work on this project and his idea to document US HIGHWAY 50 complemented perfectly USA Networks art based ad campaign. In brief he drove from San Francisco, California to Ocean City, Maryland by following the old road directly across the centre of the US. A drive of more than 3,400 miles. Some of these images featured in a 5 page article in The Herald Saturday Magazine (March 7th) and the full portfolio will be available to view online shortly.
