Dave has been a terrific hiking buddy for much of my adult life. He's unassuming, faithful, loyal, intelligent and a good conversationalist--everything you'd want in a friend. Besides that, he is a great photographer. His photos on Flickr speak for themselves. Digital photography and the web have brought Dave out of his cocoon. For decades, his camera artworks were locked up in drawers on 35mm slides. I'm glad Flickr has given new exposure to his talent. He told me once that photography shows people what is really there if we would only pay attention. Isn't that the truth. Photography blesses us who enjoy it by sharpening our attention and wonder at the realities around us. Dave and I both spend too much time looking at computer screens for a living, but in our spare time over the years, we've shared some incredible adventures. I hope our pictures bring you along for the thrill.
