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!

Day 10: my poor pooch rome

Normally, I am right with many of you by making fun of people that dress up their dogs.  Normally that is.  Halloween is not a normal day, it’s a very non-normal day around here!  My poor pooch Rome seems to feel that the most.  Last year, Whitney and I picked up these two costumes for...

Day 8 :: BUSTIN CAPS

One major advantage to this 30 Days of Bloggin’ has been the fact that it has encouraged me to take my camera everywhere I go.  I’ve heard it said that, “The best camera is the one you have with you.”  That has been so true for me, because as a photographer shooting for a living,...

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...
