My name is Beau Wade and I am digital media designer, Amateur Photographer, and Frequent Traveler.
Originally from the state of Oklahoma (Woodward, Chickasha, Oklahoma City, Cement, Weatherford, Edmond) I have also lived in Colorado (Denver, Durango) and Texas (Dallas). Over the past several years I have traveled and worked in Australia (Perth, Sydney, Manly) until my relocation back to the United States in late 2004 where I moved to New York, NY in lower Manhattan.
My happy place is on an Aspen lined road somewhere between Aspen and Crested Butte, Colorado. I like Reese’s Cups, Australian semi-dried tomatoes, Kiwi Fruit, and Snapple Peach Iced Tea (recovering from a diet coke habit).

"Beau is a wonderful photographer. One whom I would steal photos from if there wasn't some copyright stuff I would have to deal with. He is not only someone who can take a good picture but always has a good story behind it. I met Beau while searching for a picture of "the perfect man" and there he was in a self portrait shot. :) Weird, I know. He is one of the last do-gooders of his time and even though he is one of the oldest photographers I know, he is still able to hold up his camera, take a perfect shot and hand a homeless man a buck. Beau has a great eye (the other is patched and waiting for a glass replacement) and catches moments of his son like no other (picking up his false teeth, brushing the 4 hairs on his head, adjusting his cane length) and can make a bad day look BEAUtiful. Buy Beau products...they are good for the environment. :)"

"For someone I just came across on this old internet, I've been completely spellbound by Mr Wade's photographic abilities. He takes the sort of photographs I could only dream of matching in technique, and as such, I've become a regular visitor to see what he's going to snap next..."

"A man (I'm not touching that one), a myth (certainly someone of this magnitude can't exist), a legend (he will certainly be spoken of for years to come). All three of these describe, what is the very essence of LNW aka Beau Wade aka Master Wade. I'll let you interpret that on your own terms. A fellow hater of the feline race, he is a swell guy. He has a great eye for photography, and takes some beautiful photos--he somehow always manages to find a way to make even me look good. Beau is a talented designer, and intelligent to boot. All around he is a pretty rad guy, when he isn't saying things like "shilax." Oh and don't get this man near a keyboard. . .trust me--unless you love Van Halen."

"Beau rescued me from a dark Brooklyn stairwell at 3 am nearly a year ago, and didn't even murder me in my sleep.
How's that fer awesome?"17th January, 2007

edEx says:
"Beau (or “Beau The Blade Wade", as he is known in many a 'land) is sharp and intense, like a scalpel only much more menacing. He is an eye candy it-guy airbrushed over a deadly pufferfish exterior, entrancing, pointy and poisonous. But inside this delectable hovering menace lives a raucous bright-eyed teddy bear bored to tears, cursed by a dearth of playmates who can't even understand the games it wants to play. Left to its own devices, it scratches, rends, and chews on passersby and hangers-on alike, maybe vainly seeking kindred spirits of destruction to finally provide worthwhile ritual engagement. Or maybe it just likes to tear shit up. As much as I can heterosexually love another man, my heart belongs to Beau."

"From Scotland to Thailand to the land Down Under, from Ms. Omey Island to Manhattan Island to the beautiful islands of Hawaii, Beau is a prolific photographer who has not only seen a significant part of this wonderful world, he has taken thousands of photos to show us how truly wonderful it is.
Although he is a recovering (diet coke) addict and a ardent narcissist, has this fetish for kangaroos and will let his friends foolishly hop around for hours in public just to please him, having recently met him in person I now know why women like to crowd around him wherever he goes—a charmer, a gentleman, a man for all seasons, Master Wade is someone worth getting to know."6th August, 2006

adrianadesigner says:
"Famous for his black & white landscape photographs of the national parks (Manly Beach, Australia), and as an author of numerous books about photography, including his trilogy of technical instruction manuals (The Camera, The Negative and The Print). He co-founded the photographic association Group f/64 along with other masters like Edward Weston, Willard Van Dyke, Imogen Cunningham and others.
He invented the zone system, a technique which allows photographers to translate the light they see into specific densities on negatives and paper, thus giving them better control over finished photographs. Beau also pioneered the idea of visualization (which he often called 'previsualization', though he later acknowledged that term to be a redundancy) of the finished print based upon the measured light values in the scene being photographed.
Oh wait, are we talking about Beau? Beau Wade? Crap…this interview is over, get that camera out of here."17th October, 2005
