First Friday at Old Soul 40 Acres August 5, 2022

By Betsy Griest • August 1, 2022

Our August First Friday event features landscape photography by David Nasater.  Please join us from 5-9 pm on August 5, 2022, for the opening reception for David.  Food and drink specials will be offered during the reception.  The display will continue through September 1.

Davis Nasater is a landscape photographic artist whose images deal with the concepts of place and time.  Like many photographers, he started at a young age by taking snapshots on family vacations.  It was when he saw the results from taking photos at a Kodak Photo Spot at Disneyland that he realized that there was more to the process than just pointing and shooting.  Later a pivotal point came when he took a class Beyond Landscape at the Davis Art Center and was introduced to alternative ideas of landscape photography.

“I’ve progressed in my work from the classic landscape to a more intimate form,” says Nasater.  “My goal is to inject a sense of time in addition to place in my works.  I want the viewer to see the image as a point in a continuity of events.”

He has exhibited predominately in Northern California, and his works are in a number of private collections in the area.  Nasater has won a number of awards for his works including Best of Show at the 30th Annual Vacaville Juried Art Show and the Juror’s Award at the 2018 California State Fair.

Nasater has a degree in Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley.  He is self-taught in the art of photography and is a member of a number of photography and art organizations.  He currently lives in Woodland, California with his wife Paula.
