David Waldrop is a self-taught photographer. He is retired from a major healthcare system and now works part time for a not-for-profit ministry to the homeless in Greenville, South Carolina.
In the early 1990's photography became a hobby. Saturdays were often spent exploring trails, country back roads and forestry service roads. Slow travel and exploration in upstate South Carolina, western North Carolina and North Georgia was relaxing and addictive. Jokingly, David called his photography his "psychiatrist." Long weekends allowed travel to Virginia and Tennessee. The excitement of seasonal changes, the beauty, and the challenge to improve with every outing led to even vacation time being spent like the early Saturdays. The hobby became a more serious pursuit.
David has exhibited in Anderson, Belton, Greenville and Spartanburg, South Carolina, as well as Waynesville, North Carolina. He had a one-man show at Curtis Galleries in Greenville. For several years one of his works hung in the Greenville Memorial Hospital Chapel. Anderson Christian Fellowship Church in Anderson, South Carolina has used his photography in their facility decor.
Editing the environment to share through photography with others the magnificent and awe-inspiring beauty of nature and "up-close" things that we pass by daily, but don't really see....herein lies has passion.
