I’m Dave
I’m a retired civics and history teacher and photographer. On this site you can access posts about taking better photographs and visit various places I’ve been.
I also host a monthly live series called History with Dave where I look at important events and issues from the past that might have some relevance to today. History with Dave is a voice over PowerPoint talk.
