David Manning Photographers Bloggin bio picture

Welcome to dmp bloggin!

I'm a big believer in living life to it's fullest and for the most part, you'll find a smile on my face!  That's the short story about me.  The long story includes a passion for photography, playing my guitar, surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, hockey, mountain biking, skydiving and more!

I like good coffee in the morning, and good wine at night.  Cooking combines three of my favorite things, creativity, food, and friends. So you can often times find me in the kitchen making an Italian family recipe.  You're welcome at my house anytime!  Just bring a smile, an appetite, and if you want to score big points, a bottle of red wine!  (Oh, and don't be afraid to have your picture taken.  If you're here, it's bound to happen!)

All of these activities are amazing, but they would not be nearly as fun or possible at all if it weren't for God, my family, and my friends.  These three are the most important to me, and I cannot thank them enough for supporting me on this amazing journey!

MORNING COFFEE :: WIN A $10 SBUX CARD

An early Saturday morning before a wedding and I’m waking up to some freshly homemade espresso coffee.  The regular schedule goes something like this:  I wake up, hit the snooze and sleep for ten more minutes, wake up again, throw on whatever shorts are closest, pull on a cozy t-shirt, walk downstairs and fire up...

THE LIST :: LET ME HEAR YOURS

Yesterday was a heated post dealing with some pretty heavy issues.  Apparently, it stirred up quite a bit of emotion from most people as well, because I received a bunch of emails on the subject.  So today, being Day 2 of my 30 Days of Blogging, I thought I would lighten it up a bit...

GOIN BIG TIME :: THE NEW BLOG

So it’s here!  The new blog has finally arrived!  I’ve been thinking of making the switch for a long time, but never got around to all the work involved.  Yesterday was a marathon computer session and in one day I was able to start, edit, tweak, wax, buff, and polish the new blog.  I’m super...
