Creative Statement
Daniel is an international travel writer, photographer, guide and editor who has journeyed across 25 different countries throughout Asia, Europe, the Mideast and the Americas. He has spent the last three years living in China and Myanmar documenting food, culture, society, and the natural landscape for travel and lifestyle magazines. In 2009, he received the Carol Crowe Memorial Scholarship in Photography from the Glassell School of Art, and was awarded the 2013 Suzanne Tito Prize in Poetry from Alligator Juniper National Literary Journal. He received his BFA degree in Creative Writing from Prescott College in 2012. He has also contributed to various newspapers, magazines, community events, and online media throughout Northern Arizona.
Daniel's work can be seen as an active search for the texture of life. His photography blends the still-life artifacts of everyday occurrences with striking, candid portraiture and vast landscapes in order to convey the importance and impermanence of human life; it is a testament to the variety and complexity of our human experience.
