[David Simchock.]
Person: David Simchock
Place: Studio 375 Depot
Passion: Photography
Let us start out by saying, David Simchock is “humbled to be here,” in the River Arts District that is. He is humbled to be surrounded by talent, community and energy. This says a lot considering Simchock has traveled the world, continent-hopping over the past nine years. He has been places, he has seen the faces and the landscapes of this world, and these things have inspired him to pursue a career in photography.
