My name is Dan. Husband and brand-new father.

Photography for me is a tool that allows me to bring the *real* stuff in life to, well, reality. I find little importance in a photo unless it speaks to me about something more than the picture itself. As it turns out, I'm a philosopher and theologian first, and in a strange twist of life, I found that photography allowed me to clarify the wonder and awe of the world that engulfs us. The tradition of marriage goes so much deeper than the cake and flowers let on-- Indeed, the entire day stems upon the desire of man and woman to give themselves to each other entirely. There is certainly something passionate and revealing in that, and I hope to capture a glimpse of it.

I’d like to present to you Claire Josephine Konkel! Born on May 9th, 2011 at 1:00am (not a minute later) on her exact due date. Of course I could write a book on the experience and fill albums with all the photographs I took, but so you can say hello, a few quick photographs… and be prepared for a lot more to come!
