Introduction

I am passionate about photography. I have been one of the many organizers now for 5 years and continue to learn and grow through sharing with others.

Are you a Professional, Semi-Pro, Amateur, or Beginning photographer?

Semi-Pro

What are you looking to contribute and or learn from the group?

I am looking to share my style and technical skills both behind the lens and in the digital darkroom. I am looking to help lead the group in the right direction and I believe we are headed there.

How many years shooting (All mediums - film, and digital)?

Eight years in film and digital, only the last three seriously on the technical side.

What is your favorite type of shooting (Landscapes, Macro, People, Events, Family...etc)?

If it is presented to me, I will shoot it from seventeen different angles.

Additional Information

"This is my photo blog. I try to post new content four or fives a week. "

  • Steve,
    I want to go to your slide show class on Nov. 16th I think it is. I am unable for some reason to use paypay. Can I pay you tonight when I see you at the critique class?

  • Thank you so much for the great evening Steve. I really enjoyed myself and everyone was great. You helped me a lot and I look forward to Wednesday night. It was so relaxing for me tonight and I haven't even looked at the pictures I took but will and then I will try to post some if I can figure that out.

  • Hi Steven, I'm only going to be able to make it for a short time at the wetlands outing tomorrow since I have another meeting to go to.
    I would like to invite you to meet me for breakfast (my treat) at Dennys restaurant (close to Mission & Hawthorne) at 6:45 prior to the outing. It is close to the wetlands and I have a new photographic opportunity I would like to present to you.
    If you can make it please respond to [masked].
    Thanks,
    Jim

  • Steve, I finally was able to play with some HDR. I posted 3 photos on the class page. Let me know what you think.

  • Hi Steven, I know the door is closed on suggestions but I have one I think most everybody would like: Photoshop plug-ins. Our members could demonstrate
    on the projector things like Nik suite, alien skin, Topaz, etc. This could save members a great deal of money by seeing them before buying them or improving their skills if they already have them.

    Thanks,

    Jim Grant

  • Hi Steven, I had to change my rsvp to no for the monthly meeting. I'd signed up for mayo and a side dish, so wanted to let you know I wasn't going to be bringing those.

  • Hi Steven, I thought about what you told me at our last meeting with your transportation challenges after you did not make our Monday meeting... and I wished I had offered to pick you up. If you can make our meeting this Monday it would be great and I will be happy to pick you up and take you home if you are still having transportation issues. Just let me know. Thanks, Jim Grant

  • Hi Steven, I've made it back from the 4C's convention in Florence. It was a good convention with many informative sessions, great field trips and good deals from vendors. I spent time shooting with George James from the meetup group and we had a great time.

    I wanted to see if we could get a photo collection set up like we do after field trips for the 4C convention so we can attract more members next year. I do not know if you are the one to contact for this. If not please pass on. Thanks, Jim

  • Steve, I don't know if this is where I would make a suggestion for a meeting topic or a meetup, but I would like to make a couple of suggestions. I could talk about self-publishing and would like to have a meetup in OCT to Ridgefield NWR. The meetup would be on a week day since weekends are jammed with people. Thanks Tom
