Professional Recreationalist

Surrounded by societal dysfunction, Bruce Dean draws from the bizarre, the corrupt, and his social conscience of convenience when creating his writing and photos. A photojournalist, and hopelessly chronic raconteur, armed with tales from his travels. From backhands to bars to wine country. From University to Social Work - caring for societies discarded children while conquering the seas, trees and slopes of North America. Rebounding from financial enemas and poverty, rewarded with an invisible disability, while desperately clinging to parenting. Through it all, Bruce Dean has been producing his award winning humor, photography, and writing.
