Dave Gruentzel: Milwaukee, WI, United States; Photography was an accident in my high school schedule, and I’m glad it happened. I’ve always been an artistic person and this is another way to express ideas and myself. For me 50% of photography is taking the photo, the other 50% is the creative processing you do to make it better than real life. And the most important thing is the person behind the camera. It does not matter what kind of equipment you have, nothing can make up for that creative eye. Photography was an accident in my high school schedule, and I’m glad it happened.

I currently work at Area 68 recording studio as a main engineer and i play bass in a band called Jake Jendusa. I also am a web and graphic designer. I'm your digital handy man :)
