About Dave Gorman / Dave Gorman  

I'm a professional writer and performer, an amateur rock-balancer and hobbyist photographer. I ride a bike and play poker too.



The best way of looking at my photos is probably by looking at my sets. These are the shots that have been favourited by most people. I like most of them too. These are the shots deemed most interesting by flickr's own peculiar algorithm. Not that you can actually 'measure' interestingness.

Photography is very much a hobby but I've been surprised and flattered by the reaction to some of my photos and a fair few have now been published in magazines, books and on websites. If you would like to use a photo for something - and you want to do so without reference to my day job - then please ask. Most people do. The Evening Standard didn't.



For reasons I don't understand, it seems a lot of people leave comments on photos that don't actually relate to the photo at all but instead are passing on some comment about my work. Please don't. I don't advertise what I do for a living and I'd rather you didn't either.

Explaining what it is about flickr that I like so much takes up more words than is seemly here... but I did once try to write an article that explained it.



I own a Coolpix 8400 which I rarely use since buying a D70S. I also have a pocket size, point-and-shoot Coolpix s7c which I'm far from sure was a good buy. Especially as I still have the Coolpix 775 which I used pre-flickr and while not as pocket-sized it is small and, to my mind, easier to shoot with. I have a Polaroid Spectra (which I like), a Polaroid 600, (which I don't) and a Polaroid Macro 5 SLR which is odd because I'm not a dentist but which I'm determined to find an interesting use for.

I should eat more soup but then so should you.

I'm Male and Single.
