Music

Although an adventure/travel photographer by trade, Dan received his degree in music production and recording engineering from the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Music became an important part of his life long before he ever bought his first camera. During elememtary school, he discovered FM rock radio and his uncle's Led Zeppelin records and then while in high school, he bought an electric guitar, and has been hopelessly hooked ever since.

When his post high school dreams of becoming a rock star didn't immediately pan out, Dan enrolled at Berklee where he learned the technical crafts and art of music production, 24-track recording and mixing, live sound reinforcement, and audio for film and video. It was while attending Berklee when he bought a Nikon FM2 and fell in love with photography. After graduating with a music degree, Dan did some soul searching and decided to pursue a career that was rooted in his love of the outdoors, instead of a career that would most likely have placed him inside windowless recording studios.

Music has continued to remain a vital part of Dan's life and as he continues to dream of someday being a rock star, his guitars still remain an integral creative outlet. During the past few years, he has found himself dusting off his production skills and exploring the affordable advancements of digital recording, first with a Boss 8-track machine, and currently with a G5 Power Mac and Apple Logic recording software. It's been a very exciting process a for Dan, and he's even used some his music in hisori adventure slide show presentations. Dan definitely plans to continue that process and with the many ideas that circulate in his head, the future is bound to see more projects that combine photographic imagery with original music, such as his "Where Do You Find Adventure" commercial. Stay tuned...!
