I spent a few days traipsing around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with Dave Thompson a few weeks ago and I wanted to highlight his incredible photography today.
Dave has been writing about travel professionally on his site since 1996. He began Dave’s Travel Corner after a life-changing trip to Nepal in which he trekked near Everest Base Camp.

“While on the trek I became deathly ill from food poisoning and altitude sickness,” he says. “When I returned to the States I had a new-found appreciation for life and for travel.”
The site was started as a creative outlet to explore his love for the outdoors, writing, photography and of course travel. Dave’s Travel Corner is not just a place for him to display his talent, it’s also a travel community where members contribute articles, journals, photographs tips and links.
Dave’s latest endeavor is The Napa Wine Project which has taken 4 years to date and is expected to be an 8 year project that involves wine tasting at all Napa Valley commercial wine producers.
He has personally visited & tasted with nearly 600 commercial Napa wine producers to date and written about every one. His first book is titled, “The Freeways of Los Angeles” and is scheduled to be published by early 2010.
