Dreamtime - Tribute to an Ancient Culture


David is working on his most ambitious project to date. Titled Dreamtime - Tribute to an Ancient Culture, the full colour coffee table book will be an uplifting record of a fascinating culture in transition, a compilation of the very best of David's images of Aboriginal culture, photographed during his travels in remote parts of Australia. The book will will contain more than 100 photographs and 20 short stories which will reflect the richness and dignity of Aboriginal culture and reveal the common thread of humanity that runs through us all.

Importantly, it will record aspects of this rich and, sadly, disappearing traditional culture for future generations (a preview of this book can be downloaded to your desktop through either the e-book section or the Kirkland Foundation section of this site).
