About Us
We are a husband and wife team, Steve and Amie, who enjoy exploring and taking photographs of just about anything. Not every image we take is printable or even in focus but that is part of the experience. We have to learn to work with the lighting, our surroundings, and things that we cannot control, like the wind. These things add additional challenges and fun to the experience. We are not professionals but with the technology and equipment available today, we are able to create a rare few that sure look the part.
We take a lot of photographs during our travel adventures both local and abroad. I enjoy the macro setting on my camera. It forces me to really look around notice the details of what is going on around me. I look up in to the roof tops and down on the ground. Zooming in on interesting nooks, angles and shadows also takes me to a different place in tems of how I see the world. I personally like taking photographs of flowers, animals, and water. I think my favorite is water. The reflections, the ripples on the surface, the magnifying affect it has on objects and the fact that it can take on different forms such as snow, ice, rain, puddles, lakes, oceans, streams, clouds, and fog. I still have a lot to learn. I take a lot of photographs and hope that a few might be good ones.
Steve has a very patient approach to photography. He takes his time, really thinks about what he sees and the potential. Steve takes fewer photographs than I do but more of his are of good composition, focus, and quality. He takes a lot of landscape or longer distances photographs than I do. We can be at the same place at the same time and see two totally different perspective of the same object. This is what really makes it fun. To be able to see through someone else’s eyes and yet have your own image in your head of what you saw. We sometimes end up liking each others photographs more than our own. I think it is because we are seeing something that maybe we did not see before so it is something new to us and pleasing.
By taking pictures together, we learn more about each other. By sharing with others our photographic journey, we hope our pictures bring you a smile, trigger a memory, or expose you to a new point of view.
