Welcome to my little part of the web. You will find a collection of my photography and art, as well as a smattering of my musings.

A little about me:

My name is Dave Anders, I live in the San Fransisco bay area with my dog Zombie. I spend a good amount of my time working on my photography, hiking, making jewelry and watching movies.

Thanks for coming by to learn a litle about me and for checking out my work. The gallery below will take you to my IG account if you’d like to see more of my photography. Have an awesome day!

Noodle Time🍜 - At one point along my travels headed towards the north shore it was pouring rain, and I was starving. I saw a sign for a noodle shop and nothing goes better with cold rainy days then noodle soup. If you're in Kauai, check out Saimen D

Trophy Tree - Tuna tails nailed to a tree outside a fisherman's house. That's a whole lot of sashimi!

Hawaiin Sun - I remember the first time I ever saw a Plumeria blossom laying on the ground I thought it was made out of plastic. They are just such a picturesque and perfect looking flower.

Weary Traveler - An exhausted sea turtle takes a well deserved nap on the safety of a warm sandy beach. Such a unique animal "well.... I'm slow and not the most maneuverable, time to abandon the safety of land and go give the sea a shot" a

Busy Body - This awesome looking little bird is called a Warlbling White Eye. I didn't get to see any warlbling first hand but the white eye part pretty much speaks for itself 😉. Super active little birds, I had to really move to get a good angle on

Mess with the Bull, You Get the Horns - Another "Mean Monday" post to go with last week's wild boar. Those are some serious pokers! 🐮 .
*fun fact, this was taken from a moderately fast moving train, hand held from about 50 yards away. Tha

Waiting for the Sun - A cluster of orchids in the early morning. Such an alien looking flower all the way from the blossom to the roots.

*Thank you to everyone that bought a ring yesterday. I wasn't expecting that at all. Still kind of in shock. .

5 Things - It's been a couple months since I posted the concept art for this ring and it's finally done!

I'm really happy with how the detail work came out in the brass. There is more info in the meaning of the 5 hatch marks and it's avaliable for

Lazy in the Shade - A momentarily forgotten beach cruiser parked next to a coconut palm. Some times it nice to just sit back and enjoy the moment. 🚲

Isolated Perfection - One of my favorite beaches in the world Pu' Poa has and awesome mix of powder soft warm sand and beautiful trees leaning out over the ocean. Probably the best hammock location I've ever been to, you can hang off a horizontal bra

Archer - Continuing my "taking pics of people's dogs" series (TPPD?) here's a fantastically enthusiastic beach dog I met in Hawaii. You can see the intense look of focus on his face, waiting for his stick to get thrown into the waves so he

Hidden Gold - By far my favorite animal in all of Hawaii, the Gold Dust Day Gecko. I love watching them slide through the bushes hunting for insects and their incredible colors. The Hawaiian word for gecko is Mo'o, which references giant mythological

Where Ever I May Roam - Never too old to climb on stuff. Exploring the tide pools on a stormy looking day. Sun on my skin and curiosity in my heart.

Case of the Mondays - Hope everyone had a good weekend cause the work weeks back and it looks pissed off, ha ha. A feral boar stomping through the grass. He had some seriously impressive tusks.

Maluhia Tree Tunnel - One of my favorite spots on Kauai. An awesome natural portal made of eucalyptus trees on both side running down the road. Myself and @eshelmanjohn had to dodge back and forth through traffic for this shot but it was well worth i

See you Tomorrow ☀ - Watching the sun dip down below the horizon. One day retires so that a other may rise.

Unique - a teeny tiny clam shell I found while I was walking on the beach. After extensive scientific research(a whole 10 min of Google searching) I was disappointed to find out that you can't tell the age of a clam from the rings on its shell. I th

Queen of the Islands - I love taking pics of flowers. They are so similar to people in many ways. They come in all shapes and sizes, some blend into a group and others like to stand out by themselves. Some are easy to work with and some can be a pain

Neither Nor - Not a pinecone or an apple but incredibly delicious. We spent a good portion of the trip hunting for the illusive white sugarloaf pineapple(smaller than the golden variety but in contrast has no acidity) but no luck. One of my favorite

Kauain Alarm Clock - I took about 2k pics while I was in Hawaii and I thought none would be more appropriate to start with then this roster yodeling in the day. It's almost impossible to look in any direction on the island and not see a chicken. The
