David pursued his love of photography from his early days of chasing cardinals in his\u00a0 neighborhood to visiting many local and far away parks, reserves, and other places where \u201cwildlife\u201d lives.<\/p>\n<p>He was a member of the Loudoun Photo Club for about 5 years and then in 2015, joined Northern Virginia Photographic Society (NVPS). In 2016, he volunteered to be the Webmaster of the NVPS website. In 2021, David wrote \u201cVirginia Beltway Photography Meetup Guide Book.\u201d In it, he describes 25 locations the Meetup Group frequently visited over the past seven years. The book is available on Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/David_Crooks-HMP2022Presentation-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"301\" height=\"241\" src=\"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/David_Crooks-HMP2022Presentation-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"23882\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/David_Crooks-HMP2022Presentation-1.jpeg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/event\/members-gallery-prints-virtually-tba-with-david-crooks\/david_crooks-hmp2022presentation-1\/\" class=\"wp-image-23882\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/David_Crooks-HMP2022Presentation-2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/David_Crooks-HMP2022Presentation-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"23883\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/David_Crooks-HMP2022Presentation-2.jpeg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/event\/members-gallery-prints-virtually-tba-with-david-crooks\/david_crooks-hmp2022presentation-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-23883\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/David_Crooks-HMP2022Presentation-3.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/David_Crooks-HMP2022Presentation-3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"23884\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/David_Crooks-HMP2022Presentation-3.jpeg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/event\/members-gallery-prints-virtually-tba-with-david-crooks\/david_crooks-hmp2022presentation-3\/\" class=\"wp-image-23884\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div  class=\"tribe-block tribe-block__event-price\" >\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"tribe-block tribe-block__venue tribe-clearfix\" >\n\t\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photos taken of the fairly rare wildlife in the ever-changing Huntley Meadows Park.
