David is 80 pounds (yes 80) of pure camera knowledge; if that made any sense. He also has more 50mm lenses than you can imagine, and tried to convert me into another form of him. Thankfully, I'm sticking with one 50mm. Oh, he has good pictures too. :D.

Well what can I say? He tricked me out of my old 1966 55mm 3.5 micro. And I resent the hell out of him. He is young and has the smarts to follow his passions. And always trying new things. I think he will go far in the world of photography. Stick with it David and you will do great things. He gives of himself freely in the forums and is always helpful tho he is a bit of a imp, a trickster and has a bit of the Loki in him. Which are traits I approve of. And be sure to send all your extra Lenses,Bodies,etc.. to Him. As he will make good use of them learning his craft.

David sees the ORDINARY, but with his camera he turns them into the EXTRAORDINARY...
David's a real classy guy. He enjoys talking about STDs. He has really cool pictures and manual focus primes. In the time you'll take 50 shots, he'll still be focusing his camera.
