If you've seen Stephens stream I know you would agree that he can do no wrong with a camera in his hands. Everything that he takes just comes out looking so sick! With that said lets be honest his ocean/coastal shots are the bees knees. I've seen a lot of similar shots and trust me none of them come close to his work. … Read more
If you've seen Stephens stream I know you would agree that he can do no wrong with a camera in his hands. Everything that he takes just comes out looking so sick! With that said lets be honest his ocean/coastal shots are the bees knees. I've seen a lot of similar shots and trust me none of them come close to his work. When it comes to those types of shots it's his world and we're just livin' in it. Thanks Stephen for sharing your work and the occasional filter tip from time to time.

Stephen is an amazingly talented photographer. His landscape and nature photography is awesome and inspiring. His seascape work is some of the best I have ever seen and his innate ability to see the shot he wants in his mind and nail it almost every time is astonishing. He knows light and has the technical know-how to mold it to his desire. I learn from him every time he posts a picture, but I have been lucky enough to shoot with him a few times and even help out on a few shoots with him and Hector. He is a great photographer and a good friend. Keep it up brotha!!
Read lessStephens work speaks for itself. His photos are incredible. I had the chance to meet Stephen at the Minnesota State Fair. He's definately a cool dude. If you get the chance, check him out, you'll meet a down to earth guy. He makes great lemonade too. Buy it!
What can I say about Stephen that has not been said......his work is amazing!!!!! He has an amazing eye for detail, color, composition, etc. He is a person that I have come to count on as a friend.

EVERY time I go to the beach I always write down what shutter/aperture/exposure levels he used so I can (at least) attempt the perfect shot.

I stole Stephen's Sigma lens cover for the direct and intentional purpose of attempting to contact intergalactic lifeforms to break his code of amazing landscape photos. His cover, rigged on top of a contraption engineered from electrical conduit, 3 hair brushes, a pack of marbles, the 14 of Spades (from a metric deck of cards), a metric ton of duck feathers, 1500 blue square Legos, a headshot of Mr. T and fastened by the leftover remains of Easter peeps circa 2001. I was only successful on my tenth attempt to contact alien lifeforms because the previous nine tries I forgot to activate the flux capacitor, and I was aimed over Canada. I decoded the message from the Cygnus X-1 galaxy to understand that Stephen's unique style and vividness of photos are a combination of skill, passion, patience, Maple & Brown Sugar oatmeal and some expensive filters. Plus, the Explore Donkey has him on speed dial asking for his advice. Stephen is a great guy, and hopefully after I get my communication device out of the county impound, I'll be able to return his lens hood. Hopefully it will bring me the same amount of luck it has brought him. And hope he doesn't mind a little extra peep residue on it.
