Hi! Thanks for dropping by. I'm from the West Texas town of El Paso and an old school film photographer; but, I use digital cameras when in the mood. I like to keep things simple, straightforward and honest; and my photo's date from 1975, when I used an instamatic camera to current day. I use many different brands of cameras and my oldest dates from 1937, but my favorites are the 1970s and 1980s Nikons. These are the cameras I used professionally and have an attachment to them Also perfect examples of these and other fine cameras and lenses are available dirt cheap because people want the latest digital models. Currently I'm slowing building up my Canon EOS system with older film cameras.

Here on Flickr the photos vary from Safe to Moderate and a few that are marked Explicit to conform to Flickr's standards. I prefer to record things as they are and don't manipulate my photos, other than using traditional and darkroom/editing standards. If you have time or inclination browse through my images. Many are of the photos are of aircraft, and pretty woman, my favorite subjects, plus there are many documentary and pictorial photos. All my photos are Copyright ©David O. Garcia and may not be used without my permission.

My work has been published in national newspapers like the Washington Post, USA Today, Philadelphia Inquirer. I've also done assignments for TIME, UN, AP and UPI and many local newspapers, trade magazines, and I must not forget the Roanoke Times, who gave me a start in my photo journey.
