About the photographer...

	Dave Atlee was born and raised on the Sunshine Coast.  He currently lives in Gibsons and works for  Swanson's Ready  Mix in Sechelt.  Dave's interest in photography began in high school while taking pictures for the school year book.  Shortly after graduating he began to travel: "With camera in hand I found the public markets in foreign countries a fascinating and colourful place to create my images.  The markets provide the atmosphere with all the hustle, confusion and excitement necassary to inspire me.  I enjoy the noise, smells, bright colours and variety of people these markets have to offer" "The images here are a few of my favorites.  I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I did taking them."
