This medieval village in Italy dates back to near the time of Christ and is only three cobblestone paths. My newest piece, a original hand painted black & white darkroom photograph, is also displayed for contrast.

“Path to Paradise” (featuring cat wondering)

I was 25 and dirt poor with less than $1000 to my name. Dan had less. But were determined to find adventure and we did. It was risky.

Martin’s Comments on Creative Partner, Dan Witte...

I have known Dan longer than his grown sons and wife Fabienne. We ran in the same circle of creative friends at Sunny Hills High School in Fullerton; a place we termed “sugar mountain” because of those who were well-healed, but believe me, we never had the silver spoons from our beloved working-class families.

We traveled and photographed the world when we didn’t have a dime, nearly swept away in South America as we attempted to cross rivers in our mortgaged Toyota 4 wheel drive trucks or hiding from a Bolivian revolution as we sneezed in the tear gas. Now we can afford to travel, take the family, and not have to look for a sixty-six cent hotel room.

I really love working with Dan as he is a great friend and extremely creative. He is an avid image-maker, always shooting, never giving a damn whether his photographic images earned a penny. I do what I do, and Dan has always believed in it. Dan stops the public wherever we exhibit by the impact of his work alone, and in the process of my working with him I have benefited beyond explanation by his input in compositional design, color sensibilities, and of course utter graphic genius.

Dan keeps me grounded as he is my harshest critic. The worst thing is to be surrounded by false flattery such as by new age parents who will tell a child that everything they do is remarkable.

What many people don’t know is many of the images I hand paint onto my darkroom black & white photographs have a counter-part full color photograph of which Dan has created in same locations. In the early days I could use these as a guide to the hand painted color pallet I would use.

Dan’s own full color work transcends the boundaries of what the public expects in color photographs, because he shoots like he’s handling black & white film. (Which he shoots every bit as well) Dan’s photographs are sold along side my work in places like our own gallery, the famous Laguna Beach Festivals, and the high end Bellagio and Venetian Resorts of Las Vegas and in many other locations.

We have our homes in Laguna Beach.
