A closed door sparks the imagination, whereas an open door is an invitation to look inside. A
window is more like a visual portal to another dimension or reality. Looking out the window
usually includes a look at the sky, the heavens.
David G. Liles was born in South Carolina but has been a West Knoxville Tennessee resident
since 1962. David’s career path was in accounting and finance; however, he has always been
creative and has had a lifelong interest in the natural sciences. In the 1970s while a high school
student, David chose photography as a creative outlet. In those early days, Liles took photos on
film and did all his own film processing, and printing in the darkroom. He was inspired by the
works of Ansel Adams and Eliot Porter. David Liles has recently re-discovered this artistic
passion of his younger days.
