after 7 years i'm finally getting around in adding some info on this page. never really thought about doing it. i have been a member here since July 15th 2006, and have learned alot from fellow artists. i would have about 1300 images or so posted but have deleated many of my first pieces. and still consider myself a developing artist at this wonderful site. i'm 56 years old this year "2013" and was born in North Dakota. i have lived in Colorado since 1967 and enjoy this place alot. my stepfather was in the air force and we lived in Bermuda after North Dakota for a few years before coming here where he got stationed.. and so much enjoy many of the finest artist in the world who post here.. love you all and your amazing friendships we share.. lol Steve
i enjoy working with poser, i have such a dinosaur version i use, (p6) wish i had poser 2012 at least. i also use photoshop 7 for most of my work i post here. but more so photography is my main passion, just hope to get a camera again someday.
p.s. not sure how high of a res pic i'm using for this page. take care and thanks a million you all.

Albuquerque ? As to your photos, a pro said "if I've got 1 or 2 good photos in 10 or more, I'm pleased" Yours are good.

well maybe I have seen your photos after all...I just don't remember them in the past: I have to come back here later, and look for your photos...I fully understand taking 50 shots and only using a few. That's pretty common (and why digital is so much cheaper than film!) You got big bold clarity in these, for a cellphone. They're all big and bold, and that top center one is wonderful because that huge balloon is hovering over the crowd like a god, while the whites of the tents (and bright yellows) make a great contrasts to the balloon. The 2d down on the left, has a cool looking lady who looks like the's been doing this a long time; the one below is awash in great hues, with the people adding their own colors to the sight; the bottom middle one really brings home the scale of these monsters (and you caught the size of the crowd here too!); and the lower right image brings out the whole 'din' of the affair, with all the balloons and people, and all that shade against all that light. Love these. A real carnival feeling.

Not just characters as in a parade, these shots catch the abstract victory of Rubik's cube over repetitious destruction.

Beautiful shots of a great moment.

very beautiful collage. I have wanted to ride on one, but not yet

Great shots of these colorful hot air balloons, seen from several POVs, all the more considering you were using a smartphone. It's been decades since I last attended a balloon festival, that one in Albuquerque, NM, where I used a film camera, so I was limited as to my number of shots.

Those balloons are always so impressive. Fantastic job assembling the photos!
