Black and White street photography

These images were shot in Downtown Dallas and South Oak Cliff. Diner in the Hood Another image from the same general area. There are a lot off [...]

Getting Close- Skip the macro lens
The reversing ring is truly an old school technique that has been just about forgotten in our new digital world of photography. But, the reversing ring is a very low cost highly effective tool for the commercial photographer that wants to get fantastic detail on high magnification shots such as this.

Dave Copyright and why I need several shots of Ole Number 7 right now
Today has not been a good day for me on the issue of copyright. So I thought that it would be a good time to blog on the issue.

Let me give you some background.

I was notified by a fellow photographer that a couple of my images were on sale on a site. And why would I list images that were on sale at Alamy.com (which is one of the sites where I market my rights managed stock photographs) on a site that was selling them for 2 bucks as part of a compilation. Short answer … I wouldn’... read more

Ah ... Do you do more "sexy photography"
LOL I actually was asked this in email today...
The answer is a complicated one... but I am going to try to answer.

I am privileged enough to photograph all kinds of people ... all races... all sizes and shapes and all ages. The folks that I photograph also have very differing attitudes and values. Thats all cool... My job is to make them as comfortable as possible and deliver the absolute best images that I can that matches their desires.

Sometimes, I do images for a client that i... read more

I've not known him very long, but he has got a fun sense of humour and is a very friendly person. He has a calm voice, but don't let that fool you-- he's not taking crap from anyone! My favourite thing about Dave is how easily he communicates how he sees the world through his photography and how he enjoys it. I think his photos are beautiful.
