Welcome to the fine-art and documentary photography web site of David Lykes Keenan.
Dave resides in Austin, Texas and has been photographing on and off since being presented with a clunky East German camera circa 1966. Since 2003, he has been steadily pursuing a life change in the direction of fine art photography. Recently he stepped back from his software business to focus on photography full time. Dave's first love is street photography, in black and white, using a small, unobtrusive rangefinder camera. People, usually random and anonymous, are essential elements of these photographs. His preferred method is to see, photograph, but not be seen. Recent projects include street photography in various locales in Europe, New York City street panoramics, a photo essay on the war ravaged Croatian city of Vukovar, month long frame-a-day projects in Austin, an exploration of color infrared pinhole photography, and most recently recording odd angles of his world with a plastic toy camera. Glimpses of Dave's most recent work appears in the PAW 2009 gallery. Thanks for visiting and enjoy.
