I have dabbled off and on with Photography since 1980. Across the years I've used Canon and Nikon film cameras then moved to digital with the Nikon D750. My career got in the way until I retired from corporate Leadership roles and I committed my time back into Photography with the Olympus EM-1 Mark II, then the Ricoh GR II and finally the Fujifilm X-H1 for Color and the X-Pro2 for Black and White using ACROS which I liked...but I wanted a true Monochrome sensor in a full-frame format.
My Photography Journey has undergone a significant directional change with my choice to act upon my love of and interest in Black And White Photography. The way BNW removes distractions, focuses you on the essence of a subject, maintains a timeless feel and emphasizes Light, Shadows, Textures and Shapes captivates me! To that end, I parted ways with all of my Fujifilm Camera bodies and lenses and invested in a Leica Q2 Monochrom which has a dedicated monochrome sensor and the fabulous Summilux 28mm f1.7 ASPH lens. Together with that key upgrade, I am now working directly with renowned Professional BNW Leica Photographer Paul Reid https://www.paulreidphotography.com as a mentor to help guide my own BNW Photography technical and artistic development.
Besides being a Photography Enthusiast, I am active on the Vero True Social Media app as the Administrator for the Monomoods Photography Hub and as a BNW Moderator for the SNAP Reflections and the SNAP Edit Hubs. In these roles I attempt to Recognize, Educate and Motivate promising VERO BNW Photography artists.

As a dedicated BNW Photographer using the Leica Q2 Monochrom...Photography is my Passion and now my personal avocation. I enjoy educating people about BNW, raising awareness, and motivating people to try. That's why I take the time to include meaningful quotes from the Photography Greats plus detailed, specific observations about their photo in each of my Featured Photo comments for people...not just a "10 second copy & paste" comment. People seem to appreciate that and I know Elaine & Kim (my 🅰️dmin's) do.
In the words of Earl Olsen..."To me, the excitement of photography is searching for and creating new images, responding to the world and seeing subtleties often missed by the casual observer. I try to see everything as if for the first time."Dave is selected to be an exhibitor in the 2024 Monochrome Exhibition in Tokyo July 26-28
