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!

FINE ART :: SCRIPPS PIER

Fine art is one of my favorite genres of photography to shoot in.  It’s completely open to expression and vision.  Everyone sees the world a little differently, which is the beauty of it all.  The same subject through another photographers lens will appear a little different.  The shot below is one that I’ve seen many times, but never created myself.  Meeting with Lindsay Val Longacre the other day reminded me of the image in Peter Lik’s gallery called “Scripps”.  I love the shot and always thought about creating it myself.  Well Lindsay inspired me to do it and here is what I created.  It’s a perspective image, so you can wall around the room and view your screen from any angle, and it will still appear that you’re looking straight down the pier.  Sort of like Mona Lisa’s eyes following you!  A computer screen can’t do this image justice, but once I have it on my wall, come on by for a drink and we can hang out and talk life!  Enjoy! (and photogs, grab your camera and go create this shot!)
