Who is
Dan Heller, you ask? Well,
Dan Heller is a
man. Dan
Heller is a man who happens to
travel the world and
take pictures of
culture and
other things of interest. He is a
travel photographer. Dan Heller takes those pictures you see in
travel brochures. That is Dan Heller.
Dan Heller lives in
Marin County,
California and started taking
photographs as a
child. He
never wanted to be a photographer then, however. No, little
Danny wanted to grow up to
build web pages, which is
ironic since
Al Gore hadn't invented the internet yet
back then. But it was this
dream that made little Danny into Dan Heller.
After learning
what there is to know about
web design, Dan Heller decided to
test his skill and
build a website in
1995. The problem was that Dan didn't know what to make his website about. After a little thought, he decided to put up his photographs,
just for the hell of it. A
bit of luck and a
pact with Satan later, he sold a
print when he put up pictures of his trip to
Mexico. And as all things which have been decreed by
the Dark Lord himself, things took off from there.
Now Dan Heller works for
travel companies, and for about
10 weeks out of the year, he travels the world and takes pictures. It's a
romantic's job,
but somebody has to do it. And for only
your soul,
you can too. Of course, you have to also do the
paperwork for the other 42 weeks in the year.
You should have read the fine print, Dan.
