David Ilzhoefer is a photographer based in Dallas, TX. I use my imagination and sense of humor to capture uniqueness and beauty in ordinary subjects that we might not observe otherwise. Photography is my creative outlet and I always try to challenge myself. Normal is sometimes boring. Dare to be different and always have fun. I'm always mindful of what I want to try to capture in the end, but I realize that doesn't always happen. When it doesn't, I usually discover something new along the way, which opens up new possibilities. It's a journey of constant learning and discoveries. I'm always adding new photos, so please check back often. If there is a color photo that you would like processed in black and white, please let me know...
