In my photography I try to capture photographs that have a deep impact and leave a lasting impression. I want my images to convey to the viewer the same sense of wonder I feel as I create them. I continually challenge myself to merge photography and art to create unique images.<\/p>

One of the great attractions of photography is the ease with which basic skills can be learned. Unlike some arts that take years of training, anyone can quickly learn how to take a picture; however, photographic techniques must be mastered before you can become an accomplished photographer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Artist Statement:<\/strong><\/p>

In my nature photography I try to capture those more profound experiences that have a deeper impact and leave a lasting impression. I want my images to convey to the viewer the same sense of wonder I feel when I am creating them. In order to bring these images to you I am continually challenging myself to merge photography and art to create unique images that capture the beauty of the natural world.<\/p>

Paul D Photography education programs are dedicated to providing quality instruction in a safe environment. In addition to acquiring proper permits, insurance and permissions our instructor(s) are trained in CPR and Wilderness First Aid (In compliance with federal civil rights laws Paul D. Photography\u00a0is an equal opportunity provider).<\/p>

In order to preserve the natural beauty of our parks and scenic areas instructors are also certified by and adhere to the Leave No Trace principles as outlined by the The Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics (www.lnt.org)<\/p>

Teaching experience:<\/strong><\/p>

In 2006 I began teaching photography for the REI Outdoor Schools. In addition to my duties as a photography instructor I also trained new employees in outdoor equipment knowledge and sales technique. During this time I was also a member of the curriculum development team at REI to set nationwide standards for REI photography classes.<\/p>

I left REI in 2008 and began teaching digital photography workshops through my photography business, Silicon Valley Images (Now Paul D. Photography).<\/p>

In 2009 I began an affiliation with San Jose Camera and Video where I currently offer beginning and advanced photography classes.<\/p>

Today I continue to offer classes through San Jose Camera and Video as well as a program of In Field photography workshops and guided photo tours through Paul D. Photography.<\/p>

Besides teaching private photography classes, I am also putting my experience to work helping define curriculums to train future photographers and videographers as a photography advisor to the Mission Valley Regional Occupation Program.<\/p>

Photography Experience:<\/strong><\/p>

1974 \u2013 1978: Photographer and Diver with the U.S. Navy\u2019s Pacific Fleet Combat Camera Group. Highlights of my time in the Navy include being involved in the production of training films for the Navy SEAL Teams and a documentary about U.S. Navy deep sea research and rescue submarines.<\/p>

1979-1983: Staff photographer and contributing writer for\u00a0Ocean Sports International Magazine,\u00a0<\/em>a magazine devoted to surfing and the ocean lifestyle. Assignments included producing photography for advertisers and to accompany articles about surfing, sailing and diving. During this time I traveled to France and wrote an article about surfing in Biarritz (Biarritz: The French Connection, 1984 Vol. II No. II).<\/p>

1985-1995: Civilian Scientific and Technical photographer for the Naval Ocean Systems Center (NOSC). As a technical and underwater photographer I documented Navy research, marine mammal and engineering projects. I also had the opportunity to be involved again in projects with the Navy SEAL teams.<\/p>

In 1995 I started Silicon Valley Images specializing in commercial, architectural and aerial photography.<\/p>
