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!

HOW I SEE IT :: APPLE'S iPAD

Alright, I had to put my two cents in on the iPad.  Since the announcement, it has received some scathing commentaries from some very short sighted people with a complete lack of creativity.  I won’t take long.  Just a few paragraphs to explain the device and how I see it.
The rumors and hype were huge!...

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...

EMPTY WALL NO MORE :: ITALIAN PAINTING

For the years that I have lived in my townhouse in Rancho Bernardo, there has been an un-fillable void on one of my walls.  With vaulted ceilings in my family room, there above my TV, stood a giant empty space.  I never knew what to do with it, but I knew something had to go...
