December 2010 Wallpaper

In Travel, Wallpapers by David27 Comments

December wallpapers are now here in both 2560×1600 and 1280×800. I want you to know they don’t get much fresher than this. I’m in my RV parked for the night with this view outside. I shot it 30 minutes ago and am now downloading it via 3G USB stick. I love the times we live in! Photographed outside Havelock, South …

Postcard From New Zealand

In Jessie and I, News & Stuff, Travel by David29 Comments

Hello from New Zealand. The Legendary H and I arrived something like 3 days ago, picked up the camper and hit the road. We’re now camped in a secluded little spot off the road near Huka Falls on the North Island, and by secluded I mean we pulled in last night and there were kiwi rednecks having a bonfire and …

Jessie And I

In Jessie and I, Life Is Short, Travel by David259 Comments

Last week I wrote a post about wringing the most from life, and like most of what I write it comes from stuff I’ve got bouncing around in my own head, wrestling with the angels and all that. I invited you to contribute your own thoughts, and many of you did. I’m still inspired by those comments. As for me,  …

Life Is (too) Short – An Invitation

In Life Is Short by David214 Comments

I wasn’t at all planning to do this. In fact I wasn’t planning to write what I did yesterday. But like I said, it just needed to come out and I think best by writing. And over the last 24+ hours I’ve been humbled, moved to tears and further entrenched in my resolve to live moment by moment, love harder, …

Life Is Short

In Life Is Short, Most Popular, Pep Talks, Rants and Sermons by David291 Comments

This isn’t really one of those helpful photographic posts, so if you’re jonesin’ for info on what gear I’m packing for New Zealand, you might want to just kind of move along 🙂 But I’m bursting to say these things, and I’m hoping someone out there needs to hear. I do. As some of you know there’s some big changes …

Blurred Vision

In Creativity and Inspiration, Pep Talks, Vision Is Better by David93 Comments

So what do you do when you feel your vision has abandoned you? That it’s dried up or gone missing? I talked about this while I was in Kathmandu on a personal level but I’m seeing it all over the internet and in emails from friends. I can’t be the only one. The downside to believing that our photography is …

New Galleries Coming

In News & Stuff by David31 Comments

It’s been a long time coming but I’m almost ready to roll out changes on my portfolio. Many additions, tonnes of edits, and new groupings. This has been way too long overdue but I’m thrilled with how it’s come together, in large part due to Livebooks. These will be accessible on the blog through the portfolio link at the top, …

November 2010 Wallpapers

In Wallpapers by David38 Comments

November wallpapers are here early, in both 2560×1600 and 1280×853. If it’s OK with you I’ve decided to forgo the monthly calendar. Leaving it off is much less work for me but also makes these a little more timeless. I shot this on the edge of Tso Moriri, a high-altitude lake in Ladakh. This was really just a scouting shot, …

The Nikon Post

In GEAR, Just For Fun, News & Stuff by David

I am approaching this post with trepidation knowing what kind of strange misplaced fury these issues bring up in some people. If only some people put as much energy into their creative lives, eh? But you are not those people, so that’s why I’m not keeping this to myself. You folks are friends and deserve to know the reasons for …

UnSeen

In News & Stuff, Pep Talks, Rants and Sermons, Travel by David71 Comments

I just walked through the door a couple hours ago, sifted through the pile of mail and stuff that builds up over a 5 week+ absence. Tomorrow I’m on a plane again. Feeling a little rough around the edges! The images above and below are two I shot in Kathmandu while feeling I was having a hard time seeing things. …
