Anjuli Ayers: I was first introduced to David
and his work during a history of photography course a couple of years ago, and I was very much interested in meeting and working with him and learning about his photographic process.

Liz Whitman: The photographer for whom I intern recommended David's course. So, I researched his work online and liked what I saw. I thought it would be a really interesting experience to try shooting with the SX-70 camera. And, let's be honest, who would give up the chance to contort and distort a Barbie doll for a week!

Polaroid: What was it like working with David?

Anjuli Ayers: I loved it! His process is so interesting, especially how he uses focus and depth of perception. I enjoyed how he experiments with Polaroid film and pushes the boundaries of creativity.

Liz Whitman: I really loved working with David. It was so refreshing to see someone who does what they truly love for a living. David is one of the most enthusiastic people I've ever met. He was completely supportive of my attempts to try some strange things with the cameras and the toys. Even though he added criticism and advice, I never felt like I was being told what to do.
