Whois Steev Selby?

 

G'day ... I've been with flickr since, well it wasn't flickr .. back in the halcyon days of Yahoo Groups.

 

It's pretty easy to say that photography for me is the answer to that question we are all asked when we're kids "What do you want to do when you grow up?" - Took me a 'few' years to grow up and life's sent me a fare share of challenges in the "inbetween" time - and still .. here I am.

 

I've been working in R&D for 35 years now - everything from developing designs in 3d from loose sketches form students to full manufacture, testing and implementation of designs.

 

In 2003 as a team member with our Formula SAE project I was there for our World Championship win of the FSAE cup in Detroit and have been associated with the team for 22 years - these days mostly advisory and a bit of camera work.

 

An avid reader but terrible writer .. verbally frustrated - photography gives me an outlet to share a sense of moment or convey a feeling that I'd waste a few thousand words doing a terrible job trying to describe.

 

As a lot of us do I've collected the odd camera over the years, ensuring that I've usually got a chance of catching that moment if it comes along - and shoot almost daily.

 

Graphic design and vector art is something I quite enjoy - and this year (2023) I've started doing the odd bit of sketching - it's a process that I find quite relaxing - thou don't expect to see any sketches one day soon.

 

As I've grown and the equipment has advanced so has my editing style, I, as we all may do look back at earlier efforts and cry "What on earth was I thinking posting this *#@*($&!!" - and often will revisit that image (assuming I have it as a raw file) and try it on for size with the current workflow often with quite surprising results.

 

A bit of an introvert when the camera comes out ... if I'm with a group I usually find myself wandering the opposite direction to the crowd.

 

I shoot Pentax (K1, K3, KP and K200D) and as of a November '23 I'm shooting Micro Four Thirds as well - specifically Olumpus (OM System) OM-1 - all wonderful tools to explore light with.

A lot of my shots are of small detail viewed in large context almost like were's Wally - ergo they're always worth a view on the large size =]
