Dave,

This is the my first look at your blog, having known you for some years. Yes, it was time to get a larger understanding of what you are currently doing. I see both precision and passion in your photography and writing, pursuit and engagement that is leading you to serendipitous discovery and exploration. The last photo of Jim and Sandy in the second chapter of sugaring captures an essence of them both as individuals and a couple that so squares with two people I admire and appreciate so much. Thank you for that shot. And having spent some time in their sugar house during the boiling process, the series captures a lot of the care, focus, hard and sometimes dirty work that goes into producing the sweet stuff we love. There is also an essence of the pride this couple takes in their joint work that comes out across that collection as a whole.

Glad I looked into some of the detail of what you are investing yourself in currently. I have a deeper appreciation of you and your photographic pursuits.

Thank you,
Bob

Dave,
wonderful images. Ann Littlefield suggested I give them a look. Very glad she did. Bravo!

Dave, great photos thanks for sharing. i found your website by accident after reading the Edie Littlefield Sundby story of living longer after diagnosis of Stage four cancer. My mother this last year passed away from a similar situation and I felt Edie's story is very inspiring for cancer survivors as well as your photo dedicated to Edie. i am also a aspiring photographer who has dedicated my website to my mother and have been contemplating at least initially how my photos and other photographers could add to the quality of life for many people who have life threatening illnesses. Anyway i am not there yet but wanted to reach out and thank you for the inspiration I received from viewing your photos and story.

Dave, great web site. Did you do it yourself? Whoever did it, was very good. You have some very interesting photos in your collection.
