About David Mortenson
I'm David Mortenson. I've traveled widely in my business and frequently photo-documented various business projects. I have been fortunate in being able to photograph nature, culture, interesting architecture and the like while abroad in Europe and Asia and across the Americas. As you'll see in looking at Another Good Reason, nature is my favorite subject, be it flowers, bees, birds, spiders, snakes, or bears. I'm also fascinated by patterns, man-made or natural, and doors. You will see all of these subjects in these photo-cartoons, as well as interesting and beautiful architecture and landscapes. While beautiful is also interesting, some interesting things may not always be beautiful, while still being photo-worthy.
The basic concept for Another Good Reason is a photograph--beautiful and/or interesting--with a short, 2 or 3 line story with quirky humor not unlike Gary Larsen's "The Far Side". Often the flower, bird, or other subject of the photo will have a funny story to tell or a problem to solve. The goal is to entertain without negatively targeting any ethnic group, religion, political party, or nationality. Public figures, however, are fair game. Lady GaGa, Al Gore, or anyone in the headlines has or will have a story about them.
There's a wide variety of excellent photography equipment out there, but I've been a Nikon photographer for years because of their sharp, crisp lenses and "bulletproof" gear.
Kenny didn’t mind being vegan, for folks his size the only alternative was bugs and worms. Eating enough grass/seeds for 7 month hibernation took all summer . . .
Just like playing “Air Guitar” at a party looked cool, but produced no music, so “Air Fishing” looked cool, but didn’t seem to catch many fish. Maybe flying fish . . .
When CNN reported that Donald Trump was opening a Glacier Park resort with yodeling bellboys and waitstaff, he tweeted “#fakenews, only the waitstaff would yodel . . .”
New York and Nathan’s had their July 4th Hot Dog Eating contest, so not to be outdone, Texas had its Fresh Fish eating contest. Clyde was running into trouble with #38 . . .
Damian’s hope was that when the PETA/Vegan crowd heard about his “free range water,” they would embrace the concept and his fortune would be made . . .
When the Red Hat ladies put on a flower show the theme was . . . .
