The Road to Mandalay

I noticed that there was a guy on the trip who was showing off his pictures.  I tried to act not too interested but I was.  I have been involved with photography and what I was seeing was some serious National Geographic quality.  I was so impressed and I started to spend some time with him.  Both him and his wife were wonderful people.   I enjoyed getting to know both of them.

I would watched how David looked at things and later when we were reviewing his pictures, I realized how he looked at him.  I learned more from him on that trip than I had learned in any of my photography classes.  It is about the light, it is about what the subjects are focusing on and how a few seconds make the the world of difference between a good picture and one not so good!

He self-published a book of photographs that are just stunning.  I look at my pictures and think were we on the same trip?  Definitely and inspiration!  Check out his book!
