This is my
husband Dave. I met him in 1978 and we were married in 1983. He
looks happy because he just got his new Mini Cooper
'S' ! He has been
into Minis since he first drove his friend's '61 Mini which he
ended up buying for $325.00 in 1966. Since 1970 he has owned an
award-winning 1969 Mini Cooper
S which he spent
4 years restoring in 1981. He used to own and race lots of Minis in
the 70's and 80's and has won numerous prizes at Mini Meets. He
even built an electric
Mini in 1974!
Dave does
lots of things. He's great with tools, and as you can see he built
my
studio. He has a
complete wood shop and even has a British Myford ML7 metal
lathe. Whenever I need a tool to try some new art technique, he
already has it! He loves gardening too.
Since he was a kid
Dave has been into model rocketry, airplanes
and ham radio. His call sign is VE2 KDL. Dave's also a pilot. We have been to a lot of
places in his Mooney
231.
Dave's been into photography since he was a
kid, first using an Ansco Snappy 120 film box camera. He's got 3
Minolta 35 mm bodies and every lens known to man and then
some! Being a Scuba diver, he has also taken a lot of
underwater shots with his Nikonos III. He built our latest
darkroom with a wet table which is really a huge 9 foot long sink.
We've got a Simon Omega D5-XL enlarger with the Super Chromega Dichroic II
Color Head which does negatives up to 4" x 5". We
also have a handy 3-lens turret and a Simtron II Color
Analyzer . Dave and I both love to travel
and we take lots of photos on our trips. Dave does digital
color now, while I do the B+W. Thanks for the darkroom
Dave!
