My name is Dave LaFave. I am a windowdresser and interior merchandiser for the Selo/Shevel Gallery Group here in Ann Arbor, MI.

I am using flickr as a little portfolio of my work from 1995 to now, in spurts really.

I only began using a digital camera about 4 years ago, before then I was the king of the disposable camera.

Most of my portfolios have simply been color copies of photo layouts showing my display work for the stores owned by my benefactors, Elaine Selo and Cynthia Shevel.

I am endeavoring to scan the old work and put that stuff up here as well but it's slow going for now...

Watch this space.

I have not been in Dave’s actual presence since I worked with him 15 or so years ago and I do miss him so. Thank God for Flickr.

I have not been in Dave’s actual presence since I worked with him 15 or so years ago and I do miss him so. Thank God for Flickr. All I need to do when I have to satisfy that inevitable Dave fix is check out the pics of his latest brilliant creations and visions. And, by the way, not only is Dave adept with his hands, he has an amazing gift for words and never fails to make me laugh out loud. So, until we arrange that sweet, sweet Madison reunion, I will not only be saying your full name repeatedly (because I like to do that) but I will also be checking Flickr obsessively to see what you have been up to (and to see if you have left any comments on my own pics!).

Dave and I have known each other for 30 years. I'm not even 25 yet so that is a damn miracle. Who else would ride their bike with you to buy the Go-Go's album at KMart? Who lights up Broadway (I mean Theatre on the Bay) with their smile? Who would play "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" with you? Dave! That's who… Read more

Dave and I have known each other for 30 years. I'm not even 25 yet so that is a damn miracle. Who else would ride their bike with you to buy the Go-Go's album at KMart? Who lights up Broadway (I mean Theatre on the Bay) with their smile? Who would play "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" with you? Dave! That's who. He has indulged my passions and then some for a very long time. Now we can see his passion - via Flickr.

Dave LaFave was a child prodigy in Danskin legwarmers. He was a sparkling beacon in the tundra bringing home the wayward dogsled. He once saved an entire whaling party, just by smiling up at the Northern Lights. Is there anything finer than basking in the Dave Glo?(trademark pending) He is and was a lifesaver, gen… Read more

Is there anything finer than basking in the Dave Glo?(trademark pending) He is and was a lifesaver, gentleman, artist. ms. patch 2007
