Life before this life

Right around the time I started getting pictures
published, I had to quit my real job, and make a go
of being a photographer. Those were lean years and
I was broke. I did all kinds of strange things to
make a buck and keep paying the rent until the
photo thing took off. Coming from a background of
being a sponsored snowboarder, I would do whatever
jobs I could get relating to that. I modeled winter
clothes for Japanese magazines, snowboarded and had
lines an early Kokanee beer commercial, was an
extra in that movie "Ski School" and on and on.
One of the best jobs I got though, was being a stunt guy for a Hong Kong action Movie called "Black Cat". Legendary shredder Kevin Young and I spent a few days getting chased off cornices by snowmobiles, riding through gunfire, lobbing grenades, and doing methods that knocked guns out of peoples hands. I think I made a couple hundred bucks. It was really bad, but the job was fun and I got to see how a movie set worked.
I never saw the movie. And now, by the magic of youtube, I have. I guess someone included it in some euro shred movie back then. Weird.

Checkin in.

Hi folks. Sorry it’s been so long, things have been
busy around here negotiating and starting my new
summer project. I’ve been hinting away at what it
is for awhile, and you’ll all know soon, but for
now I’ll give you this; it’s a
book.
It’s been super rainy here for the last couple weeks and I haven’t been shooting much. Part of the process of the summer project is digging through the vaults and finding some old shots. Take a look and see if you can figure out what I’m up to…
Also, I've updated some shots in all the galleries and done some reorganizing of the site. A little less history and a little more recent stuff is up now. I need to do a big rebuild but with the new project that may be awhile, so for now I'm just grinding off the rough corners a bit.

Who is Dano?

I'm
Dano. I was born Daniel but the name never stuck
and around the time I started selling photos I got
hit with the "Dano" nickname and it has stuck ever
since. I've been shooting photos professionally
since 1991 when I quit my last "real" job at the
local one-hour photo.
I've mainly shot snowboarding over the years but have shot a lot of travel and am newly interested in underwater photography. Over the course of my career I've shot for every major snowboard company and magazine and I even spent the last few years launching a snowboard magazine, http://www.futuresnowboarding.com
I'm based in Beautiful British Columbia, Canada, and the all my work is informed by the spectacular natural environment in which I was raised. I like to think that I take some of it with me even when I'm traveling. Although it may be a little harder to find underwater in Roatan than it is in my work from home...
