Excerpts from eMails that I have received.
 

MY PERSONAL FAVORITE

Hi Dave, you might wander just abit who I am, so let me tell you. I am 18
and live in ******* In.  I am currently a senior, and have
taken all the art classes offered at my school. Now, before you delete this
e-mail i thought you might be interested in what i have to say to you. My
first opionion of you when i saw you was that you must be somekinda devil
worshiper, wierdo that likes to stay inside in your basement burning things
living with mommy still 7 years after you dropped out of school, however!!!!
NOt to worry i have changed my opinion and i was always told not to read a
book by the cover. SO please don't be offended. Alright now that i have
told you i have seen you before you are probably wandering where? well i went
to the Dairy queen about 3 months ago or so and i saw this guy with some old
shorts on a long goatie and boots not laced.... also wearing a "IAMDAVE.COM"
SHIRT. So obviously i wandered what the heck that ment... so i asked one of
your buddies behind me, you were with 2 other guys and prolly just getting a
bite to eat. I had never seen any kind of shirt like that before so i asked
and he told me you liked to take photographs around the world.... and i was
like really and he said yeah of landscapes.. then that was the last time that
i saw you and i was set on going to that site.. well days went by, then weeks
then a few months and here i am on a saturday and just remembered your
shirt... i have been scoping out your page and i think that your pictures are
very awesome!!!! i had no idea that a person like yourself would give up so
much in order to catch the beauty of nature... i think that you are
definately talented and keep up the good work, i will tell my friends about
your page,   godbless     missy


 

I was very impressed with your work. The tree amazed me. I would have never thought of that
being such a beautiful picture if I was looking from the outside.      kim   (link)

i'm living in Durban South Africa.
My father was Norwegean, and we lived in Sortland for ten years.
He had a big fishing boat and spent many months in Lofoten cod fishing.
I stumbled on to your site while looking at stuff from Norway and i must comment you on your brilliant pics, they were stunning, and really
made me homesick.    Gavin    (link)


 

keep up the page , it kicks ass!    Jason



Were you in Flamingo just recently? Because every year I go on a canoeing trip into the everglades and I think I saw you in that little shop by
the launching ramps.    Valasquez  (link)

I wanted to thank u for making such a positive impression on a young friend
life,,,,,JOSH, he was the teenager who was in awe of u and has sensed gained a tremendous amount of respect for u and ur efforts   Sam's wife  (link)


 

I do envey your choice of life style. not very many people take
go into the unknown like that with a vision to lead them. Keep it up!      Merlin

Very cool website dude! What the hell are you doing at Kroger's, digging
trenches?     stud   (link)

I think you do absolutely
beautiful work. I am so impressed with the pictures and the stories.  Kim


 

Does it ever make you upset/angry about the way others react to how you
look? I have always believed to never judge someone by how they look, but
it is hard, especially if you have never heard them talk before. I'll
admit, the first time i saw you it kinda freaked me out for a few. Until I
heard you talk. It changed my mind pretty quick.   kim   (link)

I think I have finally viewed all of your website. You have a really great
sense of humor. I enjoy all the stories that go along with your photos.

I have never spoken to you, and more than likely never will. I just
wanted to tell you that I had been to your site, and that I appreciate
your work. I hope you continue to capture the world in new lights.
Thanks for allowing us less talented people to view your work.
Thanks

love your web page! I met you at the party at ******* house a few weeks back. You take incredible pictures.    jeff


 

Well, Dave once again you have provided with some great pics. I dont know
how you manage to get to those places but I would love to be there to take
in what cannot be captured by pictures. You can almost feel the cold in some
of them. I really appreciate your site.    Jeff   (link)



You're a special person to do the things you do.    Patty

this is the first time
your pictures are outstanding and the basketball jones story was hilarious. im wiping tears out of my eyes from laughing so hard. you know how sometime you tell a story and then like
halfway through youre like "never mind i guess you had to be there" well this
was not one of those stories , i havent laughed that hard in a while.     Scott

and you even let me touch it. anyways you gave me this website to check out and let me tell you that it was totally exciting. hey you have
some great art.    lori

Dave,
I recently saw you in a little bar in Manhattan, Ks...Rowdy Trouty's. Just letting you know that your web sight is great and I'm kicking myself
for not starting up a brief conversation. I was curious about your shirt but didn't want to be another goob walking up and asking about your
shirt. Anyway, good luck with your future travels.
