The man who created the Strobist blog, group and movement. He has literally created a revolution in off camera lighting. Following a seminar in California on Saturday, David decided to swing by to participate in this evening's Seattle Flickr meet-up with Chase Jarvis.
Everyone had a great time even when David was trying to mess with my head!
Thanks to Jeremy Center "Ogalthorpe" and Ted Leung for organizing the event, and thanks to Chase for sponsoring the event and being such a generous host.

He was head gardener at Mottisfont and retired after 36 years. He is remembered in this exhibition in the gardener's cottage on the estate.
When I found a beautiful fragrant white phlox named David, I had to buy it, because our friend David LOVES white flowers.
I love the satiny smooth texture of David. lol
Le David de Michel-Ange est une oeuvre impressionnante. L'observer est un moment assez peu commun. La mise en valeur de cet idéal masculin, à Florence, sous cette coupole de lumière, est plus que justifiée.

The origins of St David's Cathedral date back to the 6th century, when St David (ca. 512-587) founded his monastery here. The community was attacked many times by Vikings and many clerics and bishops were murdered by the raiders. In 1081, William the Conqueror visited St Davids to pray, and thus recognised it as a holy and respected place.
At Bishop Bernard's successful urging, Pope Callistus II added St David's to the calendar of saints in 1120 and issued a decree in 1123 that "two pilgrimages to St David's are equal to one to Rome and three pilgrimages to one to Jerusalem". Therefore, a larger cathedral was built by 1131. In 1171 King Henry II visited St David's.
Construction of the current cathedral began in 1181 and was completed shortly afterwards. However, in 1220 the new tower collapsed and in 1248 an earthquake destroyed much of the chancel, choir and transept, so these parts were rebuilt. Reconstruction followed the 13th-century style with pointed arches.
The next major phase of construction was started under Bishop Henry de Gower (1328–1347). He gave the cathedral's exterior a Gothic style. The cathedral was finally completed around 1520.
From the 14th century onwards, the ensemble was completely surrounded by a massive wall, which originally had four gates. Of these, only the tower gate has survived, which is connected to the 13th century bell tower and opens the way from the cathedral to the city centre of St. David's.
The Reformation and the dissolution of the monasteries under the Tudor King Henry VIII in 1536 was a shock. The English Civil War also left significant damage to the building fabric caused by Oliver Cromwell's troops. The valuable lead covering was removed from the roof of the bishop's palace, leaving the building to decay. The roof of the transept of the cathedral was also uncovered in order to access the lead.
It was not until the late 18th century that efforts were made to preserve at least parts of the cathedral complex. After the first attempt to restore the west front failed the whole building was restored between 1862 and 1870.

Cox's most celebrated paintings of Rhyl are the oils he made in 1854, at the age of seventy-one. He set out on 4 August that year with his son, his old friend William Stone Ellis and his housekeeper Mrs Fowler. 'They went to Rhyl, Abergele, and on to Pentrefoilas, and afterwards to Capel Curig, not very far from Bettws', his first biographer records.
David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture created between 1501 and 1504, by the Italian artist Michelangelo. With a height of 5.17 meters, the David was the first colossal marble statue made in the early modern period following classical antiquity, a precedent for the 16th century and beyond.

David was a teacher/educator for most of his life. He's a great conversationalist and has a sharp memory of his past comings and goings. I had a wonderful time chatting with him.
Whatever we may think of David, his personal story of poverty and blindness and overcoming the odds is extraordinary.

David was sitting outside a downtown 7-11 asking for change. He looked a young man, so I asked him why he was on the street asking for money. He told me he was a foundry worker from Quebec, who was hired to come to Vancouver for a lucrative construction job. But when he got here a week ago, his contact disappeared. The man who promised him a good paying job simply vanished. Without a telephone number or his last name, David has been unable to find this guy, so he's now without a job or enough money to find a home.
