Travel Writing & Photographic Expertise:

Multi-award winning photojournalist and travel photographer specializing in: Islands & coastal destination travel, cruise & adventure travel, luxury destination travel, tropical resort destinations, historical travel, antiques & collectibles, outdoor & water sports travel, spa & well being travel, boating & maritime history, and other specialty destination topics.

Equipment & Camera Gear:

As a travel and outdoor photojournalist Dale places an emphasis on being on hand to cover events in targeted tropical locations.  Hence, he keeps a sportfish on the Florida Gulf Coast, and lives on a freshwater lake north of Tampa for water related assignments.

Dale was one of the first to convert to digital photography many years ago.  Thus, he has an extensive Pro Nikon digital FX system, and Nikonos underwater system, while still retaining film camera bodies if needed.  Additionally, Dale utilizes a specialty housed camera for shooting "over under" shots in water.  He also maintains a very sophisticated digital scanning and post production studio utilizing Photoshop CS4, Aperture, and a Nikon 16 bit scanner.

Dale has received over 20 Excellence In Craft awards from nationally recognized media organizations for his work in photojournalism, travel writing, photography, outdoor writing, and underwater photography. For a complete list of Dale's awards CLICK HERE
