About Me

I’ve been interested in nuclear weapons since, as a child, my dad took me to the Air Force Museum in Dayton, located at Wright-Patterson AFB. The facility was much smaller then and most of the nuclear weapons were displayed outside, subject to the depredations of Ohio’s weather.

I became a photographer as a young man and then gave up being a photographer (art doesn’t pay, it seems) eventually graduating from Harvard University with a degree from the Kennedy School of Government, where I focused on technology policy. After grad school, I was a research associate at the Belfer Center at the school, spent a short time as a consultant to one of the “Big Five” firms, and worked on technology policy issues for the federal government. Then I went back to being a photographer. Life is a sort of circle, it seems.

Currently, I live in a small, unincorporated town on the California coast with my wife and two cats. You can see more of my photographic work at my portfolio site at www.darinboville.com and read my blog A Bigger Camera (especially popular are the photobook reviews).
