Why Usually Dave

I’m David Szweduik, but you can call me Usually Dave.

Why Usually Dave? Well, I’m usually a photographer, but also podcaster, a writer, and well… an all around creative. Plus, did you SEE that last name? Yeah, not a real easy one to spell.

When it comes to my work, I’m fueled by a deeply rooted desire to capture, create, and share the unseen all around us. Flashes of clarity distilled from otherwise mundane moments. Transforming the unnoticed and unseen into leading characters in the story of life.

So that’s me, David Szweduik. But please, just call me Usually Dave.
