A couple of weeks ago Dave phoned me in the middle of the night – it was 1:30am. He was phoning from India to say “hi” where he has been for months.

David Trattles spends most of his time with cameras and his bike seeking out people stories all over the world. He is, without hesitation, the best documentary – story teller – people – photojournalist I know. He’s also very humble and shies away from promoting his work well, despite his list of awards and clients!

If you ever get a chance to hear him talk about his work – DO! His stories, photos and passion will make your head spin. Buy one of his prints if you can convince him to show them – they are, indeed, gems – and your purchase will help fund his work.

In usual Dave style he sent me an e-mail with no message whatsoever, just a link to his upcoming photo presentation in Toronto.
