About Dave Gelenter
I am a nature and outdoor photographer based in Annapolis, Maryland. A Maryland native and a licensed professional captain, I have sailed extensively on Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries onboard many traditional Chesapeake Bay boats, including deadrise workboats, buy boats, skipjacks, and schooners. My photography showcases the region’s ecological beauty and tells the story of its cultural legacy, bridging past traditions with present-day narratives. While my main interest lies with Chesapeake Bay, I also enjoy exploring and highlighting other regions and cultures further abroad.
