Yet another lurker here…….this time from the UK. I really appreciate the insights you post on this blog, along with all the literature you have produced. I’ve just checked out the release date for your ‘Visionmongers’ book on Amazon.co.uk and it says 28th Dec!! Oh man….I can’t even get some decent reading material for Christmas day!! Oh well, it’ll have to be New Years Day reading. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

I’m off now to the Philippines to do some photo work for Outreach International.

David, thank you.
‘Life’ sometimes gets in the way of what I really would like to be doing…
I seldom comment on, but religiously read your blog posts. They are a wonderful course of inspiration – and remind me of the opportunities photography provides me – emotionally, artistically, socially, etc
In the spirit of ‘connectedness’, why not provide a quick ‘interview’ of a random reader/commenter every now and again? Not just the pros, but also everyday folk… what makes us ‘tick’ (photographically), where have we come from, where are we going, etc.
“Community” is about feeling connected to your neighbors. If we get to learn a little more about each other (albeit briefly), we feel more connected and this can foster greater collaboration.
Thanks again.

I am a lurker. I have never commented on a blog but feel compelled to do so. I have benefited from your book “Within the frame” and your ebooks. I have read a number of photography bogs and websites but I keep coming back to pixelated image. Thanks for inspiring me!

David,
I too have lapped up everything you have written and look forward to your postings. One thing true for myself and because of you, is that I am more confident with my own vision. (Running sentence). My biggest challenge now is to keep myself from “pontificating” about all these stuff I learned from you. God knows, I never wanted to be a “know it all”
but I do need to learn to keep my mouth shut nowadays.

David, rest assured that your content is IMO worth subscribing to simply because of the way and things you share with us. Simply a lovely thing to be able to know how you think and work as an ‘upbeat’ photographer.

Even if you don’t give us giveaways I’m already very happy =]

In fact, if there’s one thing I’d be concerned about, it would be that you somehow get too distracted with keeping us in line that you become less able to afford the time your humanitarian work requires. I personally would like to keep seeing you work with them and maybe know a bit more about the process of identifying how to produce work that best fit their needs.

Also, geeky question – gonna talk about how you approach sharpening in LR3 soon? =]

Hi David,

I am very new to photography but already I love it. I heard about your blog on the internets and already I’m hooked. Thank you.

I can’t believe I just wrote “right” instead of write… maybe you can write a blog post about proofing your content, photographs and writen both, before you hit “publish”

How could I possibly add more than what has already been writen by you and, above, countless (I’m sure there is an actual count) others.
I love reading this blog because it gives me insight into you as a person, I find your photography good (great!) sure, but I find you completely fascinating – so when I read, I’m listening to you talk about yourself, your passions and your interests. People in general fascinate me, so for me to direct you in what you choose to right isn’t my goal.

Yes there are things I want to learn and know, but that comes organically, through readership, friendship, experience – I’ve got the time – so whatever you decide to put down, it looks like I’ll spend it reading.

Please talk Gavin Gough into making an eBook as well. You both have a great way of writing and you found out the power of doing the eBook…but there are some things from Gavin i’d love to learn and read on as well. Told him about it but maybe he needs a push in the right direction. I mean after all he was the one who told me about you and got me hooked on your eBook and I can’t get enough of them (cheap and full of info, whats not to love about them?).

Lurker? Me? Yes!
Big Question. How do you do it all? Writer, photographer, teacher, blog, family man, podcast, traveler, etc. etc. etc.! Would you share your magic pill with us?
