In 2002, David was invited to be a keynote speaker at the United Nations “Year of the Mountain” conference in Malaysia on photographing the Rocky Mountains.

The exhibition will run from April 2 through April 23. Due to the current Covid situation, we will only be exhibiting the 11 winning photographs at the Lincoln Gallery. The rest of the “accepted” images will be displayed on our online virtual gallery for 3 months at LincolnGallery.com. The virtual gallery will feature all of the accepted images from each category.
