Dan
Chavez’s
passion
for
photography
began
as
a
teenager
when
he
began
to
experiment
with
his
dad’s
vintage
35mm
Argus
camera.
For
him,
photography
is
a
creative
journey,
blending
tradition
with
modern
digital
innovations.

believes
every
photograph
results
from research, experimentation, persistence, and luck
