While he’ll point a camera at just about anything, his favorite subjects are landscapes, architecture, rodeo, and sport although portraiture is beginning to play a larger role in his photographic life these days. He writes software for a living but enjoys occasional photography commissions, shooting for the local newspapers, and licensing stock images to magazines. He is lucky enough to be credentialed photographer at Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin where he takes pictures of the University of Texas Longhorn Band while football goes on in the background.

In this episode, Dave shares the story and inspiration behind a stunning HDR Panorama of the Taipei Skyline.
