“Born in London I spent most of my childhood in Australia before returning permanently to England in 1997. This experience of growing up and living between two different countries, two different worlds is something I believe has affected my perception, fascination and relationship with place.”
David Salmon’s interests are a subtle blend of photography, web design, and marketing.
He lives in Tunbridge Wells, England and has been putting stuff on the web since 1994. It’s often been for other people, but with this photo blog he’s finally found something to do with the domain name he’s owned since 1999.
It’s a collection of David’s photographs, some of which have been used in competitions and exhibitions at Tonbridge Camera Club.

So as time passes I am continuously and often desperately trying to fathom the hard facts of life: its loves, despair, anxieties and hopes through these small stories, both intimate and distant, both foreign and here, upon my own doorstep.
“Based in the South East of England UK, Dave loves to photograph nature, landscape and more recently dereliction. Dave has always been involved in art of one kind or another, first by studying Art and design at school and then taking up watercolour painting during his teenage years. Photography was to be the next step in his creative life and he hasn’t stopped since. Dave now has a small amount of his photos for sale on Getty Images and is also a committee member of his local camera club, giving advice to members on digital imaging through basic Photoshop tutorials.”
A brief history:
“My photography started back in spring 2003 with a small Nikon E775 digital compact that I bought for taking family snaps. I soon became more interested in other subjects of photography such as landscapes and animals. Within a couple of months I decided” …>>>read more about Dave Wares Photography
