Sailor.Dave's photostream |
Just a guy, married with four kids, trying to get by as best we can.
I've been an enthusiastic amateur photographer for years, but had to slow down when the costs of printing became too much. Happily, in early 2007, I was able to obtain my baby- my Canon digi RebelXTi, and I've not stopped since.
I love portraits and infrastructure best, but will shoot anything that catches my eye.
Please leave feedback, comments, critiques are all welcome. I am trying to improve as I go, and certainly the examples on flickr are inspiring- even if sometimes so truly humbling, I wonder why I even try.

Marie - Somewhere on an Island says:
"Dave is a wonderful student of the fine art aspect of photography. He continues to rely on tried and true techniques, yet not posessing the formal education; however, consistently achieving beautiful results. He is truly an inspiration to all of us who profess to be amature photgraphers."
