Dave
is a Canadian who graduated Lakehead University
(Thunder Bay, Ontario) in 2002 with both a Bachelor
of Arts degree in Geography and an Honours Bachelor
of Outdoor Recreation.
Dave's
passions lay in the outdoors and travel, and his
photographic work reflects that. In 2000 Dave hiked
the 2,167 mile (3,467 km) Appalachian Trail from
Georgia to Maine in the US.
After
many slide show presentations, Dave's interest in
photography grew more serious. He was a staff photographer
for his university newspaper Argus and pursued
other freelance photography work such as rally racing,
photojournalism, portrait and assignment photography
in the past years.
From winter 2002 through Spring 2005 Dave lived in Ulsan,
South Korea. His photographic interests vary widely;
from landscape to portraiture; from photojournalism
to macro; from sports to experimental Lomography. He
won the grand prize (trip to Japan) in the Pusanweb.com photo contest in the summer of 2003. 2004 started well
for Dave when in February he and four other photographers
held their first gallery exhibit. Entitled INSIDE
from the OUTSIDE; AForeigners view of Korea was
received well both in the Korean and foreigner communities.
Dave had 5 photos in the gallery for the 10 days in
Ulsan.
In
addition to his fine art prints for the gallery and
limited edition prints, Dave's clients include The
Korea Times, FLIK magazine, Seoul Classified, Suzuki Canada, Inside
Track Motorsports news, Flat Over Crest.com rally news,
Planet Motorsports rally, Last Ditch Racing, and
other rally teams. Dave then took the role as staff
photographer and Editor-in-Chielf for The Ulsan
Pear, an English monlthy newspaper in Ulsan. After
travelling throughout India for three months in the
summer of 2005 Dave was back living in Asia - 100km north
of Tokyo for all of 2006. Dave is now living in Vancouver, Canada. e-mail him.
