Nikonians, Dave Black
Not just Nikon photographers should find one of the largest Nikon user websites, nikonians.org, interesting. It contains a huge amount of information, such as workshops, reviews, user forums and so on. I particularly like the podcasts, and of those especially the “Behind The Lens” series. These are interviews with professional photographers who have been awarded the “Legends Behind The Lens” title by Nikon and tell interesting anecdotes from their lives as photographers. I wish there were more of those interviews.
One of them (MP3) was done with sports photographer Dave Black who became a photographer after taking side roads and due to the encouragement of a university teacher (who was incidentally named Bob White). On his website, he writes two mmonthly columns where he comments on his current work including all the gear he used and so shares his experience:
Workshop at the Ranch On The Road
I also recommend the older entries which are linked to on the lower part of the pages. Interestingly, Dave Black is a Christian, which I found out when I read this quote and one of his articles:
No man is an island. I owe a debt I can never repay to God for granting me life, grace, mercy and wisdom, thank you.
