I graduated from Northeastern University with a degree in mechanical engineering.\u00a0 After 30 years as an engineer I changed paths and pursued a career as a freelance trombonist and teacher. During all this time I continued my interest in photography, taking on freelance assignments and exhibiting my work.   I started when I was 10 years old and never stopped taking pictures.<br><br>My father started me in photography when I was ten years old and, with the help of many, I developed my own style. I became fascinated  with photography the everyday things that most photographers would walk past. I also developed commercial skills that led to assignments with CVS, Cumberland Farms and others. <br><br>Woonsocket, RI is my home town living there for forty years before moving to Matunuck, RI in 1993.  My father, Julius, taught me the basics of photography when I was ten years old and eventually I joined the  Woonsocket High School yearbook staff as the school photographer.  I worked closely with the staff at Morin&#8217;s Photography Studio for three years where I was able  to learn skills needed for the many freelance assignments that followed. <br><br>I have published three books, <em>Under the Spell of Matunuck,  Matunuck Beach, <\/em>and<em> Intrigue.<\/em>  I have a small gallery\/workshop in Matunuck where I sell my books and framed prints.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidshermanphotography.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/88"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidshermanphotography.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidshermanphotography.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidshermanphotography.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidshermanphotography.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/davidshermanphotography.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/88\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":586,"href":"https:\/\/davidshermanphotography.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/88\/revisions\/586"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidshermanphotography.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
