Episode 26 - David Verespy

<p>Episode 26 with DAVID VERESPY     </p> <p>     Hi, I’m David Verespy, Professional Photographer.  But, I am way more than that, I am an active creative professional who really can’t sit still without creating something.

Each time I stop to do this I envision the image finding its home framed as a centerpiece on someone’s shelf, a treasured memento of a special time.        Photography has always been part of who I am.  I can usually be found with at least one camera on me.  Early o
