David F. MacEachran

Dave's memorial page popped up in an email this morning and set my mind to remembering.
David told me early on to be aware of the line separating documentation of a scene with the interpretation of it, that based on how I see, it'd always be an issue. Therein lies the art of photography.
This nugget of wisdom, along with the technical skills he emphasized, makes all the difference; I remember, and I continue to offer my thanks and appreciation each and every time I go out.

David lives on in my heart. I will never forget him, or his dear family who shared a part of my life
Love and blessings to all his loved ones

Ah yes, David was a great friend and we shared many adventures together. Our mutual love for 'anything water', brought us together on Smuttynose Island from the early days of 'Edith's Rangers', to fun-in-the-sun at Ocean Isles, Marathon, FL, where his parents bought a condo in the fifties. We shot rats, raised a flagpole on Smuttynose 20 years ago as a tribute to Aunt Rozzie Thaxter, and I learned how to fly a 'competition' kite under his tutorship. David possessed an artistic photographic...

Dave was my valued colleague at NEC for thirty years. His dedication to students in their professional and personal development was inspirational.

David was one of the best professors I ever had! A tough teacher at times but he knew how to motivate his students. He was a great man and I will miss him dearly!

David was in my freshman class at New England College some years ago. Back then he was already a great photographer with a huge camera. He was a great person and although I lost contact with him years ago I remember him fondly. Condolences to his family and friends.
