David R. Katz

I moved to Arkansas from Denver, Colorado in 1971 and worked in the medical field for the next 7 years, was a partner in a stained glass business, and became acquainted with the art network around the state.  In 1981 I entered the "Toys Designed By Artists" competition at the Arkansas Arts Center where my metal and glass "Flying Spider Box" earned Honorable Mention and sold before the show even opened.  I became a serious photographer while photographing my wife's basket work for her web site. I am affiliated with a local video production company in Fayetteville where I do commercial photography and graphics work. I have been a web designer for the past 5 years and have worked in computer technology for the past 20 years. I have a small business, InfoStatz Creative Services, which provides web site, photography and graphics services.  I am a musician and played live music for quite a few years. In 1985 I won first place in the Arkansas Songwriter's Association's songwriting competition for my song "Easy and Slow".  I now work solo and create instrumental compositions exclusively on my computer.  I grew up with classical and rock music, and that's what my music is: instrumental popular/neo classical rock. I am a current member of the Eureka Springs Artists Registry.

My current photographic focus, The Midnight Series, began one night while riding back from a video shoot in Knoxville, TN. I was a passenger in one of the vans and started playing with time exposures of the highway traffic. I developed a method for manipulating the camera while exposing it to random configurations of traffic lights and found that there were "creatures" that lived in the exposures.
