About Dan

In the late 1970s, my younger brother Jim and a good friend of mine got me interested in photography.  I replaced my point-and-shoot Kodak with a “real” camera, a Nikon FE, which I still have.  After puttering around for a bit, I took a class at an upscale camera shop in Bellevue, Washington and really got hooked. My skills and technique improved, but circumstances in my life changed and my enthusiasm waned for a number of years. When digital cameras became popular, my interest was revived, and it’s been my passion ever since.

Because I enjoyed drawing and painting in my younger years, appreciation for scenery comes naturally. I find beauty and interest in unusual settings as well as contemporary landscapes. While never passing up the beauty of everyday images that I see when traveling around Eastern Washington, my passion for the wine industry has added diversity to my portfolio.

I hope I can revive a memory or capture a moment in time to share with those who may not have the circumstances, time, opportunity, equipment, or ability.
