Dave's Bio Page

Dave was born in Harrisburg, PA in 1967 and lived there until about 5 years of age. At that time I (let's move to the first person, here) moved to York Springs, PA, a very small town near Gettysburg, PA. (Bored yet?) I graduated in 1984 by the skin of my teeth from Bermudian Springs High School in a class of 81 people at age 17. I moved around a lot since then. I've lived in Hanover, Gettysburg, New Oxford and Clifton Heights (near Philly), PA; Jacksonville, NC; Conway, SC; Newark and New Castle, DE; Linthicum, Annapolis, Edgewater, The Maritime Republic of Eastport and now Windsor Mill, MD; and for a time kicked back on Assateague Island, VA as an unemployed bum. I got interested in photography by accident after taking some half-decent shots of natural settings. I taught myself by reading books on the subject and through constant trial and error. I consider reflections to be challenging and fun because of how interesting the focal distances inside of the reflections can be. I've taken pictures of several bands live including The Grateful Dead, Sting, Dylan, Traffic, Crack the Sky, King Crimson, Tony Geballe, Bruford/Levin's Upper Extremities, Emerson, Lake and Palmer and Jethro Tull. I've recently gone digital and at this point am thrilled with it. I've even more recently acquired studio lights, started working with humans as subjects, and started taking Photoshop much more seriously.

Music is one of my favorite things, and I think I know more about theory than I really do. Around 1995 I discovered Progressive Music by being turned on to King Crimson by a roommate (JT). I guess I've always known about it, but never knew it really had its own genre. Thanx to DC-ET, an email group, I've found out about more bands than I would've ever known about before. See:
http://dc-et.freeservers.com for links to them. Astronomy is also something that's quite exciting. Just about anything related to math and physical science piques my curiosity. Physics, evolution, weather...stuff like that. I also enjoy hiking and backpacking, as many of my pics will reveal.

After an interesting couple years of changing my address more times than I'd like to admit, I'm currently unemployed, but looking, after working at my ~58th job since high school (I know, you think I'm kidding, right?) typing to you, taking and working on a bunch more pix for this site, drumming, partying with friends and trying to locate a reasonably sane woman to share exclusive, long-term, mutual worship and loathing.

I hope you keep your browsers pointed here to check for more pics on a regular basis.

So, nothing too awful personal here, but enough about me anyway...send an email to the address above and tell me a little about you!

Catch ya then!
