Piece description from the artist
In the winter of 2004 I took a trip to see my client who was selling her home in San Francisco. Her son was the Athletic Director at West Point Military Academy at the time and was living with him there. I flew into NYC, drove up to visit her and take care of some business at West Point and spent a few days touring NYC with a friend. We took the tour around Manhattan Island and I snapped this view of skaters at Rockefeller Center with my 35mm film camera with black and white film and made a silver gelatin print in a dark room here in San Francisco.
David Klein studied film, theater arts and philosophy at San Francisco State University. After graduation, he began acting and directorial training at SFSU and at a local theater academy. After appearing in a few productions he decided to put his artistic life on hold while he focused on his family and work as a real estate agent in San Francisco.
An amateur photographer for nearly his whole life, in 2006 David returned to school to study photography and art at the City College of San Francisco and took up acting again. He has acted in several local films and had the lead on a Biography Channel TV program.
In 2009, David was inspired to use his photography to create designs for fabric prints after discovering how he could "paint with light” by taking photos of street and neon lights at night using long exposures with camera movement to create abstract images. In essence, he moves his camera like a painter moves his paint brush, creating imagery that flows and moves in shapes that reflect the human form and work perfectly for printing on fabrics for fashion and can be applied to a range of products. David also loves to take photos of people, places and things which he uses for creating designs for fabric prints and designing fashion with his prints.
