Testimonials
"David's Morocco tour was a joy — well-organized, exceptional accommodations and a sweeping view of this remarkable country, its culture and colorful history. David inspired and encouraged us to look beyond the ordinary, to open ourselves to the small details of life and view the world with a fresh eye. The result — better photographs and a greater appreciation for our world community. He’s a gifted photographer and patient teacher. We’re looking forward to touring India with him."
- Ray and Jan M, Sacramento CA
"This was my 4th trip with David, and, as always I came away not just with excellent photos, but with a sense of having engaged with a culture. David's insistence that we see our subjects as part of a larger society not only adds to the experience in interpersonal terms, it also helps us to make better images. I have taken a number of photographic tours and workshops, and David is head and shoulders above any other instructor or tour leader I've encountered."

"This tour was hands down one of the highlights of my seventeen years in digital photography. I've never been with such a congenial bunch of people, all of whom contributed to good feelings throughout the trip."

"David's love and respect for the people and places we visited was palpable, heart-felt. He thoroughly scouts his tour locations in advance, yet he is constantly checking and adjusting during the trip, as opportunities arise to make his clients more comfortable, or to create as many great photo ops as possible. His trips are seamless. - I can’t wait to travel with him again and learn more!"

"David's critique of my work was extremely perceptive and showed a clear understanding of what I was trying to achieve. I have been a student on several other photographic workshops, but found David's comments to be particularly insightful and valuable".

"Everything was dialed in, down to the last detail. David did an incredible job planning a trip that tailored to photographers looking to document the true essence of a country and culture, all while traveling in comfort.

"My recent tour of Morocco with David was my first with him. I was surprised at the range and quality of the hotels and restaurants; the superb selection of photographic locations; the care and quality of the scouting done to insure a smooth client experience; and the patient and insightful review of work. The experience was both a great vacation and an opportunity to pursue my personal photographic interests. Now I have to get down to the business of editing my work and reliving the moments in Morocco.”

"David did an excellent job and worked hard to make sure the entire main tour - and all three extensions - were full and valuable - not the usual touristy version of India - much superior to that. We've been on numerous photography trips with many private guides, multiple expeditions with Nat Geo and Cuba with Santa Fe Workshops. This was among the best of all the trips we have taken".
