Hey, I'm David. I do a lot of things. I love to hike, explore, adventure, longboard, surf, camp, run, bike, play guitar, sing, hang with friends, meet new people, and travel. Oh! And I love to take pictures and make people think.

I'm doing a 365 project right now. It's hard, and scary, and the best thing that's ever happened to me.

AND If you'd like to be added as a contact, send me a message! :D

    "David is amazing, David is a genius. There are no other words.
    I can't believe he does a 365 days project with so much creativity and talent each day. It's impossible, but he does it.
    He improved like no one (he still improves !) and I can't stop looking at his pictures.

    David, you're amazing. Please, never stop taking pictures."

    "I decided to re-write your testimonial because since the time I wrote it, you've developed so much. There's something about your photos that is magical. Each and everyone. I don't know how you do it David, but I don't think you've ever created a bad photograph.
    Despite how much you may doubt yourself at times, you should really have a look at how much you are appreciated on here. You are honestly, becoming one of the most inspiring photographers on this site. I hate that your 365 is slowly coming to an end, because watching you grow, and learning more about you through the stories that your photos tell is something I, and many others, look forward to every day. You are ridiculously talented. Without a doubt, you inspire me most.
    Oh & maybe one day you can take photos of me?
    You are never alone, David."

    "David is one of the nicest and most talented people on Flickr. I've been watching his photostream for quite a while now and thought he deserves another testimonial. His talent is just too incredible to resist, it's obviously well earned. His work never ceases to amaze me, and his comments are always so genuine & interesting to read. I'm glad I got to became friends with him, and to see his improvement strive every day as a photographer portraying his visions of the world into his photos.

    P.S. David is obviously God in a human body."

    "okay, first off, you are amazing. i say it just about every comment, but with each picture you produce, it just furthers my point. so, i figured i'd put it into testimonial-form.
    i don't know the pressure of a threesixfive. i've never attempted one myself. that being said, i suppose i don't have an experience dealing with the pressure of uploading a work of art every day so, i'll admit, i may sound very naive in what i'm about to say (but, i mean every single word): if my completely & totally, simply utterly inspired pictures looked like your "uninspired" pictures, i might just be set for life. i don't know what its like to have to produce such beauty each day, but i know that the way you do it is simply magical. you are honestly one of my biggest inspirations & i'm purdyyy positive you hold this role for many, many others.
    i love many things about your work, but especially how insanely creative you are & how you translate this into such incredibly emotive work. as opposed to overshadowing the picture, i feel like your editing enhances it, a quality i feel is often times, sadly, lost in today's world of editing. you manage the perfect poses & expressions time & time again, & i really haven't a clue in the world how you do it.

    David Talley, i do believe you & your work is the essence of magic.

    "All the testimonials that you get? All are very much deserved. In fact, I'm unsure why you have such little testimonials when it's obvious that you have such amazing work! Also, you improved in such a short time that I my jaw just.. well, it dropped. Your work is very inspirational.

    Your work is just creative, an amazing use of your imagination, put together in such an amazingly gorgeous and stunning way! Totally makes me jealous! You are no doubt, absolutely talented and full of potential and just an amazing photographer!"

    David, your photos make me happy. They are amazing, and you're going to be famous one day. You're one of the most amazing people I've met on here.
    There are so many more things that I want to say (and that should be said) but I just can't find the words to say them.
    So, I'll leave it at this: David, you're amazing, and don't ever forget it. And never stop taking pictures.

    "This is a long overdue testimonial. David Talley is by far one of the best photographers to date. Hands down. Day after day he continues to produce marvelous and beautiful images that give the sensation of awe and actually make the viewer think. Rarely ever do you come across such a photographer nowadays. Not only is he an amazing photographer, but a great friend. I've had the pleasure to talk and work with David many times, and every single time he was both helpful and caring.

    Every night I stay up to view the next image that David will produce in his spectacular 365 project. And every night I am amazed to say the least. David you truly inspire me. I beg of you that even after your 365 is over that you continue to upload frequently.

    Long story short, David Talley is not only a remarkable photographer, he is a remarkable person. Keep up the good work David.

    Sincerely,
    Jacob Robert Price."

    All these people below wrote so nice things!

    Your 365 got very good.
    I love your ideas, they're very unique.
    You have a lot of ideas and even when you don't have any ideas, the idea in the photos are always great.
    I love how you edit the colors and the tones.
    The best thing about your 365 days project is that you're improving your style and all about your photos a lot, and that's why I like it very much.

    You're photos are magical and each of it makes my day!
    I'm glad to know you, 'cause you have a great personality. You're funny but gentle.

    "Hey David! :D
    I doubt I'm the first to say that you photography is absolutely stunning and awe-inspiring; the photos that you take are always so creative and original. Your ideas and the way you execute them often leave me staring at my computer screen for a few minutes before I can bring myself to write a comment about how in love I am with a particular photo. I hope you never, ever stop taking photographs, because I guarantee the world will have a bit less beauty in it if you do."

    "Wow, just wow. Wow. David Talley is just a super genius. He's like Albert Einstein of photography. He is just mindblowing. There are a few things I have to say about David:

    1. His creativity just never seems to end. His concepts for pictures are just super-creative... you will never find a guy with that amount of creativity.
    2. All of his pictures are amazing... not a single picture he has is not amazing... every picture is unique and amazing!
    3. He actually cares about what you post. The first time I saw a comment of David on a picture of me I felt like I had just seen Lady Gaga or Beyonce... I was like "Wow! he looked at my pic!"

    If I could describe him in one word, it would be CREATIVE."

    "I don't really know where to start with David.
    David's photos are just pure magic, he puts a lot of effort and time to his photos that he just make them wonderful.
    He puts something unique and special in the photos that not a lot of photographers can.
    His creativity is amazing, the name of the photos are great, what he want to express in a photo he really express it.
    He, as a flickr contact, not only is very active (of course he is doing his 365) but he also take the time to watch your photos and make comments which are very constructive and nice.
    And he is ver kind, he is really a good person. I remember I send him a flickrmail long time ago saying that I love his work and he was so nice that answer me in a very cool way. Not a lot of people answer in that kind of way, some of people dont even answer.
    And he is a person that you say... I would like to meet him one day haha.
    Keep doing the excelent work you do. :)"

    David, you are a fantastically creative artist, and I enjoy keeping up with your work. You bring a fresh, inspiring energy to photography that makes me want to jump up and grab my camera. THAT is pure inspiration, folks.
    No only you one of my most creative contacts, you're one of the friendliest. You always have some sort of constructive criticism or some sort of friendly word.
    I am absolutely appalled that no one has written you a testimonial yet, but I am so happy to be your first.
    David, keep doing what you love, because we (the Flickrstream creepers) love it too! =)
