My name is David Coleman, and this is my site.
I take photos for a living. Seven continents. Dozens of countries. Up mountains. Under water. And a bunch of places in between. I'm based in Washington DC.
All posts and reviews on this site are written by me. And I only review gear with which I have personal hands-on experience. More about me.
