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.
The EPA nearly shut him down: a penalty and tax on cow flatulence, a fine for no manure disposal permit, and more. Hopefully the new Trump EPA guy would lighten up . . .
When Herbie heard about a “rainbow coalition,” it sounded like a group of rainbows getting together, but he seemed to be the only one . . .
When John bought a lot on the moon on CraigsList, he knew it was somewhat speculative–his wife called him “stupid” and suggested he move there as soon as the divorce was final.
No matter his doctor’s concern for his health, Buford J Buford, Jr. was not going to join the Tai Chi class, period . . .
The new job with Homeland Security patrolling the Rio Grande to stop smugglers and illegals didn’t pay much but had a great “all you can eat” provision . . .
Looking in the mirror was not rewarding for Ted, a kid in puberty–long, gangly legs; a skinny, funny-colored neck; and blotchy colored feathers–when would it be over . . .?
