About the Blog
In the 19th century, circuses were a primary source of entertainment for middle- and lower-class America. There were hundreds of shows traveling the country where for a small price you could see clowns, acrobats, trained animals, trapeze acts, musicians, hoopers, tightrope walkers, jugglers, and unicyclists. Ancillary to these circuses were the sideshow acts - lower-brow, oddity attractions like so-called "freak shows", magicians, less tasteful stunts, and so on. The Ten-in-One was one of many innovations introduced by PT Barnum. It packaged 10 sideshow acts for a single admission price and Barnum invented all kinds of fanciful names and exotic back stories to promote the acts.
I like the ten-in-one concept because it's a lovely unifying theme for what would otherwise be a grab bag of unrelated things. I think of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band as being a ten-in-one album, because it was such a disparate and odd collection of songs that somehow fit into an exotic and utterly brilliant package. And so, in the same spirit this is Ten-in-One, my blog of photography, music, writing, technology, fishing, and miscellaneous other thoughts.
About Me
My name is David Campbell and I'm a musician, photographer, and software marketer living in Raleigh, NC. As a photographer, I shoot a wide variety of imagery including portraiture, landscape, cityscape, and still life. I'm drawn to bold, dramatic images with contrasting tone and lots of texture. As a musician, I've played everything including rock, swing, blues, pop, reggae, and classical. I play guitar, piano, synthesizer, and bass. I'm an avid audio geek and operate my own recording studio and love to design sounds on synthesizer. And as a marketer, I'm a 30 year software and high tech veteran having worked in engineering, product management, and product marketing. I am currently Vice President of Product Marketing at a private software company in Raleigh, NC.
I feel most passionately about my family, music, vacuum tubes, green chiles, coffee, smoked brisket, fishing, technology, writing, and integrity.
I grew up in Roswell, NM, where UFOs go to crash. I've lived in many places, from Asia, to South America, to the Arctic. For most of my professional life I lived in Texas but I recently relocated to North Carolina. Last but certainly not least, I have two young sons and a wife who are my sun, moon, and solar system.
