Dave Bunnell

I am an American photographer who specializes in cave photography. I generally _target my uploads to the Commons to accompany specific pages I am adding information or photos to. I'm part of the Volcanology working group due to my interest in lava caves. I also created the Sea Caves page from scratch. I have a large educational web site devoted to caves and cave formations, with many photos, called The Virtual Cave. I can be reached at davebunnell@underearth.us.
