I’ve started having a look through my archived boxes of transparencies and putting some  on to a lightbox  to rephotograph with my DSLR. When I started doing food shots in the mid nineties I used a natural light, shallow depth of field,

Lessons Learned and Forgotten

I’ve been looking at old slides lately, thinking about the differences in taking photos 15 yrs ago compared with today, and I came upon this session from 1998. Shot with my Nikon FM2 and 35mm f2,8 lens on 100 ASA

Venice 1995. Certain themes in my photos seem to p Venice 1995. Certain themes in my photos seem to persist 🌊😊 I am looking through work and photos from a month I spent in Venice in January 1995 with the aim of making a book. I think it will have photos, paintings and bits from my notebooks, but I'm really just beginning and trying to see what would work... #daveinvenice #venice #polaroid #polaroidsx70 #seascape

What’s Next for Team Dave?

2023 was mainly directed to working towards a solo show in August. This show formed part of the SALA (South Australian Living Artists) Festival and was held in Adelaide. It brought with it many wonderful things and made me very tired. I am now trying to recharge after three very challenging years. (Challenging, that is, by my standards.) I'm still working on a couple of series in 2024 though, and we'll see how that goes.

2021-22 saw the completion of a Masters Degree in Contemporary Art at UniSA. This was a return to full time study for the first time since 1984.

In 2024 I am developing idea for some new work, "The Sea Before Dawn." We'll see what happens I guess.
