DAVID LANGLEY

LANGLEY--David Darrell. On Saturday, November 20, 2021, David Darrell Langley, loving father, and influential NYC commercial photographer for over 45 years passed away at age 88. Born in New York, NY to Roy and Mary Langley, Dave attended Cornell University. By chance, he found photography out of school working as a chauffeur with the Tappan Zee thruway project. A fortunate encounter led to an unfamiliar responsibility of capturing the project on 16 mm film. It changed his life, and launched Dave into a successful five decade long career as a Commercial Photographer who quickly became a favorite of Madison Avenue advertising agencies. He completed over 5000 assignments worldwide, influencing and inspiring many of his crew who launched their own successful careers. In later years, he made beautiful and original birdhouses. He spent his last two living in Washington State sharing and teaching his passion for woodworking with his daughters. Dave was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Lawrence. He is survived by his ex-wife/friend and mother of their children, Liz, his three children, Adam, Sarah, and Jennifer, his grandson, Silas, and his sisterin-law, Gail. Dave's wish was to be cremated and his ashes scattered in the Hudson River. This will take place in the summer of 2022. Per his request a funeral service in not planned.
