Bio of author David M. Delo
I’ve never been great at anything, but I have been around, so I’ve had as many failures as I have successes. After college, I was a C.I. agent for NATO (US Army) in Europe. For employment, I have been an educational administrator for the American Geological Institute, in Washington, D.C.; a systems analyst and V. P. at Levi Strauss & Co. in San Francisco; the owner of a guest ranch in Wyoming; a P. R. writer for a university library in Illinois and grants writer for a not-for-profit organization in Montana; the owner of a publishing company (Kingfisher Creations) and an author of 10 books; and a semi-professional photographer for half a century and an artist since 1993. I have also been bipolar II since the mid-1960s. I guess you could say I have had a colorful life.
Since the turn of the century, I have resided in the world of creativity. My books (and paintings) are my children and my heritage. My action-mysteries are based on my years in Europe. My historical novels are all based on places I have been. I still love my protagonists and with whom I identify–a geologist, an artist, a photographer, and an intrepid explorer of the west. Enjoy!

"Elephant's ears, Beme! You sure know your onions. This is a great print!" The negative was crisp and the print perfect. Both were well beyond my skills in 1927. That would change.
Bourke-White was an iconoclast, a tradition breaker, well beyond Avant-Garde, a female photographer who stomped on tradition and earned nearly a half million dollars in one year by getting the photograph no one else could get. Within the first decade of her industrial photography, she fulfilled her fantasy which she had written in her diary at age 24: I'm going to become rich and famous.
In her life, accompanied by a merry-go-round of lovers, she was the first female photographer to be accepted in Russia three different years to document that nation's Five Year plan (1928-1933). A restless patriot, she was present in Moscow during the German blitz of 1942, then groveled in the mud with soldiers on four continents during World War II. Even if she was kicked out of the service on several occasions for unbecoming conduct, she photographed the battles, the heroes, the lives of G.I.s and the incredible angst of surgical operations in front line hospitals.
She covered India, South Africa, and when she found time, she wrote a dozen nonfiction books about her travels, photographs, and life. In toto, she showed America the world.
