Born David Michael Cochrane Dodds on the 10th September, 1954 in Kisumu, Kenya when it was still a Protectorate. Scottish and British lineage and British Citizen by birth. Has a naturalised South African Dual-Citizenship. Middle son of three brothers, John being one year older, and Anthony 9 years younger. Father: Peter Dodds of Portsmouth, Hampshire, UK. Born 23/03/1928. Peter’s parents: William John Dodds and Martha Lily Duke. Father’s Career path included service with the Palestine Police, the Kenya Police, and Head of Family Planning in Rhodesia / Zimbabwe. Retired to Simonstown. Died in Kenya, May 2005. Mother: Elizabeth Ann Cochrane of Nyeri, Kenya. Born 2/10/1926. Elizabeth’s parents: Basil and Anne Dundonald Cochrane. Direct descendants of Lord Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald, buried in Westminster Abbey. (DeBretts Peerage 13th Edition). Died in Simonstown, November 2004. David lived in Kenya until he was 17 years old, in which time he attended schooling at Gresham’s in Norfolk, England. Scholastic achievements revolved around achieving A levels in English & History. Hockey and acting were main interests, and David excelled at shooting and photography. He captained the school Shooting in .22 and .303 disciplines and attended numerous Imperial Meetings at Bisley, Surrey, the world centre of long range target shooting founded by Queen Victoria in 1870. He completed schooling, and represented the Great Britain Athelings Shooting Team to Canada in 1972. He finished that event as the top cadet, and with the prestigious Viscount Wakefield Trophy. The Kenyan policy of ‘africanisation’ forced his parents out of Kenya in 1971 and the whole family relocated to Salisbury, Rhodesia, later to become Zimbabwe. 22 23 RHODESIA / ZIMBABWE 1972 - 1978 After less than a year at Hambro’s Bank, St. James, London, where David worked while his parents were moving to Rhodesia, David moved back to Africa for a position as Junior District Officer in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This was a position of rural administration at its most basic, supervising the local populations in everything from cattle dipping, to community up-liftment and population registry. The rapidly deteriorating security situation finally turned the whole country into a war zone, and David and his brother John, went for military training to try to cope as civilians in a military environment. David received a posting on to Mount Darwin, the centre of Operation Hurricane and the peak of terrorist activities. He continued the government rural assistance programme under trying military conditions, surviving severe wounding in a vehicle ambush, and repelling a number of insurgent attacks with his staff whilst being heavily outnumbered. The high degree of skill acquired from participation in International Shooting was put to effective use with David training the region’s Government Staff, the Air Force and elite tactical units from the Military. That it led to his survival in some of the particularly dire circumstances was a bonus. During this time, the early interest in amateur photography became an overriding consideration, fuelled by the fact that stunning picture opportunities were there on a daily basis. David finally left for South Africa to study Professional Photography at the Durban Technikon in 1978. 24 25 26 27 28 SOUTH AFRICA 1978 After completing the 1st Year National Certificate, David’s portfolio was sufficiently strong to attract interest from the magazine world of Republican Press, one of the largest publishing groups in South Africa at that time. A Staff Contract offered work across the spectrum of all the company publications, with the experience of a very large range of assignments, (the 1981 Seychelles Coup fiasco to nappychanging contests at the Red Cross) proving invaluable. After nearly 5 years in Durban, David set up a professional studio for a year, and then moved to Johannesburg, the financial centre of South Africa. Based out of a custom built studio, assignments for the next 15 years covered a broad range, from advertising, beauty, fashion & travel, to corporate annual reports. BUSINESS DIRECTIONS 1988-1996 The advent of the emerging DTP era, 1988 – 1991, with digital imaging and software packages related to image manipulation, illustration and page layout prompted David to invest in leading technology and Apple Mac workstations. He frequently consulted with corporate businesses in South Africa in those early days, and lectured at workshops on the ever-changing nature of technology and systems related to photographic and image manipulation. David made it his business in the emerging DTP era to stay ahead-of-the-game, regularly attending pre-press technology training at institutions in San Francisco, New York and at the Rochester Institute of Technology, from 1992 to 1996. 29 PHOTOGRAPHIC PROJECTS PORTRAITS OF SOUTH AFRICAN WOMEN Completed a 10 Year Calendar project, (1991-2000), based on intimate portraits of South African Women. It featured an ‘all races, all ages’ approach to the talented women of South Africa from all professions, (from modeling, the media to the performing arts.) This approach was novel at the time, because of the deep polarisation of South African society that was widely vilified right around the world in the media. National publications continue to use the images for ‘then and now’ illustrations, based on the extraordinary transition of South Africa from apartheid to democracy in the middle of that era. PORTFOLIO SOUTH AFRICA 2002 Curated, designed and published a coffee table book of the leading images from 75 of South Africa’s most highly regarded photographers.

The Foundation is addressing the pressing needs of Women and Children in Africa for basic access to drinking water. David contributes the components of Graphic Design and media, as well as directing strategy and delivery of purification products needed by the Foundation. The WfW Logo, the websites and related distributable media are all David’s work. The Mandela Landscape Where else to highlight the difficulties of daily access to clean water than at Mvezo, the Birthplace of Nelson Mandela, near Umthata. 48 The iconic Image of the Birthplace of Nelson Mandela, available in platinum limited edition 49 50 yup, even the Elephants stress for Water - 2012 SPORT David has a unique talent related significantly to much of the skills needed in photography: a sense of timing, a consistent vision and a cool disposition under pressure. The education system in England introduced David to the world famous target shooting ranges of Bisley Camp, Brookwood in Surrey, and to the prestige of the annual events of the British Long Distance Shooting Championships. Queen Victoria instituted skilled marksmanship in 1870 and the incumbent Monarchy have been the Patrons of the Events ever since, culminating every year in Her Majesty The Queen’s Prize. Since that introduction as a schoolboy, David’s interest in Long Range Target Rifle shooting has continued at the highest level. After appearing for Britain against Canada in 1972, and for Kenya in 1973, he continued top level competition in the Rhodesian Armed Forces, and with the Fullbore participants at Cleveland Range, Salisbury, 1974-1978. David first appeared in the South African National Protea Team in 1994, and has been a critical and integral part ever since. Personal Shooting Records South African National Champion: Winner 1994, 1998 and 2000 Commonwealth Games: Canada in 1994, Malaysia in 1998, and England in 2002. The 2002 effort resulted in partner Peter Bramley and David winning the Silver Medal in the Pairs Match. Four days later, David won the Silver in the Individual Championship. This represents a Double-Medallist status, and a record by any fullbore target shooter from Africa. Still unbroken in 2015. South Africa Team Member; The International Palma Match, the ‘World Cup’ of Shooting. Hosted every four years like the Olympics and the Commonwealth Games, the Event is conducted over two days at the distances of 800, 900 and 1000 yards with full National Teams of 25 squad members. 1995 1999 2003 2007 2011 2015 South Africa 5th in Trentham, New Zealand.
