   My name is Dave Tong.  I grew up in a small Ohio college town surrounded by flat farmland overlaid with square-mile grids of straight roads.  At eighteen, I hitchhiked across country to attend the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho – a slightly bigger college town surrounded by very un-flat farmland randomly sliced by un-straight roads.  I loved it, and Moscow’s been my home now for five decades.
   After earning degrees in Wildland Recreation/Communications and Television Production, I worked thirty years creating videos on a vast range of subjects for the UI.  Through practical experience, I developed skills in photography, graphic design, and evolving digital technologies.
   Since retiring in 2015, I’ve focused on nature photography and creating digital photo-art.  I love the landscape and wildlife subjects found close to home in beautiful northern Idaho and the Pacific Northwest. And I am continually drawn back to Yellowstone National Park where I worked as a seasonal ranger in my younger days.   

   Thank you for visiting my site and please reach out to me with any questions or comments, or to inquire about wildlife/photographic art prints.
