Hi. I'm Dr. Dan. This site is a way to showcase some of my photos. My real job is working as a clinical psychologist in Lynden, WA and part-time professor in Bellingham, WA and Vancouver, BC. My hobbies include taking photgraphs of high school sporting events and nature. I also collect Seattle Mariners baseball autographs (over 306 different players and coaches and counting).
My daughter Kirstyn got me involved in sports photography a few years ago when she was working on her High School yearbook. I became intrigued (some would say obsessed) in figuring out how to get good pictures for various sports in different settings. As a result, I invested in equipment and took pictures at her school (Meridian High School in "beautiful downtown Laurel" located in Whatcom County, WA). This website is a way for people to view those photos of themselves, friends, and loved ones.
This site is mainly for people from the local community to enjoy these photographs. Some have inquired about purchasing these pictures. There is an option to do so if desired. 75% of any proceeds from picture sales of Meridian sports will be donated to the Meridian Public School Foundation for student scholarships. All proceeds from the Meridian yearbook staff photos are donated back to the yearbook. Everything else will probably be blown on Mariners autographs.
*A cool feature on this site is an option to vote for your favorite photos (the green thumbs up when you highlight a photo). Vote for your favorite photos and view them and others in the 'Most Popular Photos' gallery.
