David Feigenbaum takes pictures as a way to reveal the simple charm of spaces and things found in his day-to-day life. His subjects include buildings and structures in Boston’s business district, nooks and crannies in his old house, streetscapes in his Victorian neighborhood, and food. Often somber and shadowed, his images of plainly presented subjects aim to invite the viewer to feel present in the scene. Recent bodies of his work include “North End Alleys”, “Ephemeral Winchester”, “Light in the House” and “Troubled Bridge Over Water; the Northern Avenue Bridge”. 

Feigenbaum’s Northern Avenue Bridge series was exhibited at the John J. Moakley United States Court House in the Seaport District of Boston in 2016. Other shows include at the Westport (Mass.) Art Group and the Westport (Mass.) Free Public Library; the 2015 Photography Atelier exhibition at the Rockport Art Association; the 2014 and 2015 Photography Atelier exhibitions at the Griffin Museum of Photography, Winchester, Mass.; the Sanborn House Historical and Cultural Center, Winchester; and the Winchester Public Library. His photographs are in the collections of Pathstone Federal Street, Fish & Richardson, the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, and private owners. Feigenbaum’s architectural photographs appear in Arts and Crafts Architecture: History and Heritage in New England, by architectural historian Maureen Meister, and Paradise Planned: The Garden Suburb and the Modern City, by Robert A.M. Stern, et al. 

Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Feigenbaum studied at Yale College and Harvard Law School, and is a retired patent lawyer focused on high-tech startup ventures. He is a trustee of Historic New England, a cultural institution that preserves and presents New England’s heritage. He has studied portfolio development with Karen Davis and Meg Birnbaum in the Photography Atelier and Atelier 2.0 at the Griffin Museum of Photography.
