David Wittig lives in the desert in the American Southwest. He is currently working on three projects centered on nuclear weapons. He spends much of his time on a project called The Archivist, documenting the everyday lives of a select group of families. It is currently in its third year of the decade-long project.

Additionally, he is broadly interested in aeronautics. 

In his spare time he enjoys designing custom cases, as well as working on and driving his Porsche.

He is looking for private and corporate commissions as well as exhibition opportunities. You can reach him by email.
