Capture Gymnastics Magic: From Smartphones to DSLRs

Meet the Author: David Pasho

David started photographing Mayan glyphs in the Yucatan and underwater mineral deposits on the bed of the Pacific Ocean in the early 1970s. He has since photographed events, travel locations, street and candid settings, destination weddings, sports, live theatre, and gymnastics. A lot of gymnastics. In Photographing Gymnastics, David shares his ideas and first-hand experience from over a decade of photographing local gymnastics events, the Canadian Gymnastics Championships, and the Toronto Pan American Games.

Beyond his efforts in photography, David has been a salvage diver, a roustabout, an able seaman, a medic, a marine geologist, and a government policy advisor. In 2005, David founded Ideas on the Edge and developed a federal government mentoring program for visible minorities, a competency-based learning program, a course for scientists on the government policy process, and an analysis of offshore mineral resource management.

Keep an eye out for upcoming books about his experience as Chief Marine Geologist for a CIA project to recover a sunken Russian submarine from the bottom of the North Pacific Ocean, life in Venice, California, during the 1960s, and a history of rhythmic gymnastics.
