About Dave

Dave is a naturalist and photographer based on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. He’s worked as a heritage interpreter with BC Parks, Parks Canada, the Greater Vancouver Regional District, Vancouver Aquarium and Marine Science Centre, and a number of NGOs with a focus on environmental education. He also spent a season guiding zodiac boat tours in Haida Gwaii, BC and has volunteered with several bird research projects including Laskeek Bay Conservation Society’s ancient murrelet study at Limestone Island and at SFU’s Triangle Island research station. He regularly contributes photographs of BC native plants to the eFlora image bank.

About the Photography

Dave’s passion in photography is in the small details of plants and animals in the natural world. He enjoys close-up macro photography and has a great interest in the patterns and shapes that can be found in nature. Additional photographs are posted on Flickr. You can also follow his nature observations on Twitter and Facebook and on Island Nature, a blog that he co-writes with his wife Jocie.

Dave is currently using a Nikon D80 DSLR with an AF-S Micro Nikkor 105mm f2.8G lens as his lens of choice. He uses (reluctantly) an older second-hand Sigma 170-500mm lens for bird photography, but wishes he had something better. Some of the older images in this site were taken on a Nikon 4500.
