Photography Slideshow by Columnist Mehul Davé
April 29, 2020 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamEstimated reading time: 1 minute
At I-Connect007, we like to work hard, play hard, and highlight our contributors. Mehul J. Davé is a great example of someone who is passionate about the industry as well as his other interests outside of work—especially photography. In the following slideshow, we feature some of his work.
As a columnist, Mehul writes “The Big Picture” and is also CEO and chairman of Entelechy Global Inc. and chairman of Linkage Technologies Inc. He has traveled around the world in many seasons, with visits to Europe, Kenya, India, Costa Rica, Canada, and many places throughout the U.S. The stories behind each of his photos are incredible, from capturing an individual snowflake on a woolen scarf at his farm to waiting two hours to capture an image of a hummingbird feeding her babies in the nest.
To combat the overload of coronavirus posts and news on social media, Mehul recently began sharing favorite photos on his Facebook page daily; he wrote, “…hopefully, my photos give you all something else to think about.” This is just a sampling of Mehul’s wide range of photographs, including landscapes, cities/architecture, people, animals, food, events, and much more.

SEMICON West: The Path to a $1 Trillion Future
10/14/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007After more than 50 years in San Francisco, SEMICON West moved its 2025 show to Phoenix, which is significant because it highlights the importance of Arizona as a semiconductor and tech hub. Though the show will be back in San Francisco in 2026, the overwhelmingly warm welcome SEMI received from Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, and ASU President Michael Crowe—who has been responsible for ASU repeatedly achieving the U.S. News and World Reports most innovative university ranking—was remarked upon repeatedly. All indications are that SEMICON West may well be back in Phoenix after that 2026 season.
