About
Hi, my name is Daniel... I have loved photography ever since I was a small child. I got my first camera when I was about eight years old and never put it down. Since then I've constantly been taking pictures for my personal enjoyment and for other people. I have experience in photojournalism, weddings, band photography, sports, senior pictures, family pictures, and portrait photography. I use a Nikon SLR digital camera and a variety of Nikon, Pentax, and Ricoh SLR film cameras. I also use computer software to edit digital pictures and to do graphic design work. The best way to contact me to have some pictures done is through my myspace site www.myspace.com/shipwreck_photography. You may also send messages here. I can produce digital images on CDs as well as prints in several sizes (4x6, 5x7, and 8x10). I also sell photographs individually.
In addition to photography, I am an avid guitarist and singer/songwriter. I love music and performing in front of people.
I am a disciple of Jesus... I am very interested in sharing "life" with other people in this world. I'm only going to live once and it's my desire to walk toward Christ and help others move in that direction in their spiritual lives.
Traveling is a big part of my life... I've been overseas many times. Emersing myself in other cultures is one of the utmost exciting and most memorable things I have ever experienced. I will never forget my first trip to Africa. I am hoping to spend this summer in Barcelona, Spain practicing music and photography. I also plan to build intentional relationships with the people I come in contact with and to be emersed in the society and culture. Being a student of other people is amazing.

thats really cool. i am going though a huge transition right now. i am giving up what i have been doing for the past couple years . i feel like its not holy and not where God wants me at all. so i am at the point where i am looking for a job..for direction and just having faith God will provide. its been pretty intense...so please pray for me if you think about it.
Desiree, Jul 10, 2007:

It's going great. Awesome photos by the way. That's something I wish I could do. I came across your profile through Andy Davis's profile, actually. I'm trying to make some connections, and since he had a ton of friends, I thought it to be a great place to start.
It's good to meet another Christ follower using art for the glory. Take care.
Desiree, Mar 10, 2007:
