I am an avid amateur photographer, evil robot killer, and general bad ass who has decided to devote more of his free time to photography. I like landscapes, but I have found portraits to be of more interest. The 365 Days project is very energizing.
I use the following:
–Canon 40D
–Canon D400/Digital Rebel XTi
–Canon 85mm f/1.8
–Canon 50mm f/1.8 (the Nifty Fifty)
–Sigma 28mm f/1.8
–Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS AF
–Sigma 70-300 f/4-5.6 Macro
–Canon 430EX
–Ebay remote triggers from magic_trigger (thanks Strobist!)
–Ebay IR Cable release (from here)
I use The Gimp for heavy-duty photo editing, but also ACDSee 9.0 with the photo editor. ACDSee 9 is actually pretty impressive.

"I love Dave's stream - his love for his darling wife, his manly toys, food that makes me drool all over my keyboard and alcoholic beverages that make me wish I was toasting with him. I don't know Dave in person, but I can tell he is just a good guy and someone you like to be around. Thanks for the fun, Dave - I look forward to many more great photos by you."

"What can I tell you about Dave....let me see....
well...he makes me laugh so much my sides hurt...he makes me cry because of the honesty he shares...he is like a sweet that has a crispy outside casing but a soft centre that makes you want to eat the whole packet...
to view his photos is always a joy...there is always something wonderful there...and I feel very lucky to have Dave (and beautiful Jamie) as a contact here on Flickr..."15th November, 2007

"Dave. Sweet Dave. I feel as if I need to go back in time. I have met you in person, hugged your neck, shared laughs with you as well as breakfast. Now I feel as if I need to go back and see all that I have missed. I have never doubted your technical prowess. You are a wonderful photographer and an amazing individual. Now that I have spent time with you, I am eager to get to know you even more. You are a treasure. And you made me look pretty. I am forever in your debt!
If you are not familiar with Dave and his work, you are truly missing out. Dave puts a little sparkle in the Flickrverse."21st August, 2007

Chapendra says:
"I'm editing my first testimonial because it doesn't do justice! I could be a bit biased being he is my Da.
He's very technical and good at lighting, but with that said he doesn't leave you in the dark. He'll explain how it was done. There is so much more beyond this well lighted, well excused, humorous and goof dude, you'll just need a chance at discovering it yourself. I'm positive you'll enjoy!"6th August, 2007

Larry and Isa says:
"Dave is a genuine person.. that is the first impression you get.. The honesty is vivid and gets you endeared, sometimes saddens you and sometimes makes you see your own life a little differently and more honestly . ..The talents he has are numerous. His photographic genius in portraiture is awesome, and his endearing qualities, surprises he comes up with , and the soul searching he does .. well , may I say :
Dave is a wonderful flickr delight!
I look forward to " Dave" , everyday, Dave.

"QUESTION: What happens when you take a brilliant mind, an eye for detail, exceptional creativity and enough personality to charm your pants off?
ANSWER: You get Dave.
His photography and words are equally powerful. Spend some time and you'll be addicted to his work like the rest of us Dave-Addicts."30th May, 2007
