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!

TASTY TUESDAYS :: MONKEY BREAD

So, I’m not normally a dessert kind of guy.  Nine times out of ten I would say no to the offer of dessert.  I don’t know, I guess I think far too much about how much sugar or butter is going into me, get all grossed out, then say no.  Not that I’m some crazy...

THANKSGIVING :: TURKEY WITH THE FAM BAM

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays!  Not only because the meals are SO DELICIOUS, but because of awesome times with family.  I am so blessed to have a big family on both sides that are all so incredible.  This year, as we celebrate Thanksgiving, one thing that I have to be very grateful for...
