ABOUT
David Wolf received an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and a BFA from the University of Georgia. Photographers such as Catherine Opie, Joel Sternfeld, William Eggleston and Mark Steinmetz have inspired him to photograph people beyond his immediate social circle as well as appreciate quieter moments closer to home. David often uses the camera to search for beauty in the forgotten, the independent, the commonplace, the handmade, the unfinished and the overgrown. Two of his long-term projects include photographing strangers in local parks all across the country and taking a self-portrait almost every morning for the past 22 years. David is also fascinated with the slippage of language, incorporating text into his works to remind the viewer that the act of looking and the act of reading are not always perfectly linked. He has taught workshops on contemporary art throughout the U.S. and worked as a college counselor for many years helping students develop their portfolios.
