    Once again with Dan, you are left to wonder why he had us wait so long to indulge in such a treat. The wits and the ROI of a classically trained voice deliver raw pleasure in 55 min bits. Great job!

  • Gold. Solid Gold.

    What Dan puts in every single pic he takes, he puts now into every single word he says: Passion with his special Dan-credients of distinctive otherness, his sincere interest in the people he has both in front of the camera and in front of the microphone and his pure authentic personality. He literally knows how to picture people. It is a great pleasure not only to see this now, but also to hear it!
