Photography
I’ve always had an interest in photography. In fact, when I was in the sixth grade I won “best picture” at the Cypress County Fair (yeah, I was kind of a nerd).
So when I had the opportunity to take a photography class while I was at business school, I wanted to so badly get into Robert Dawson‘s class.
It is one of the most popular classes at Stanford where only a few students were hand selected out of hundreds that apply. Most students were pursuing a PhD in Art History or had a great track record for doing something creative (one girl had been a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize!).
“There’s no way I can get into this class”, I thought. How could I compete?
So when Professor Dawson asked me why I wanted to be in the class, I told him:
“People say that a picture is worth a thousands words…but I think a picture is worth a story…”
I guess that was good enough to get me into the class! I bought a Canon 7D right after that, have been learning how to use it, and shooting with it wherever I go. I’m usually the guy talking to the wedding photographer for more tips…
Check out some more photos here.
Beautiful! did you take these yourself?
Thanks, Katie! I did. Love traveling
I like the second one more alhuotgh I couldn’t tell you why. There’s something about it that just appeals to me. As for what they’re growing, it just looks like grass to me.By the way, I love these sprinklers and keep wishing that we could get these kind for our farm. They’re a lot less work than the ones we have and I’m all about making work easier.
These are amazing photos. The black and white photo of the people sitting on the dock while two people are lying down in hammocks below, is just awesome.

colour has some thing about it but black and white just blows you away.
I never had the chance to go to uni or college as you call it.
I truly feel cheated and wish I had the opportunity.
but them the university of hard knocks taught me well
cheers Peter

Hi Don,
I was browsing through your site when I saw the “photography” tab and thought that I must visit there. I really like your photos, especially the top two ones. I thought there are amazing. I love photography and anything visual really, film etc, so that was a surprise to see on here. I’m glad I came.
