While browsing through my bookmarks I stumbled across an old favorite...

... and was amazed all over again at how Stephen works his magic.  Pull up a
chair and feast your eyes for a moment on these delicacies.  (Let's linger
for awhile--no one here is in a hurry.)

Here is the art of photographing for (and of) oneself.  And virtually all of
it taken with two lenses, both 50's (1.5 summarit and 1.0 noctilux).

But I don't imagine Stephen is terribly concerned with his gear or
preoccupied with what his images look like compared to others.  He's out
there every day making love with the world through his camera.

That love comes shining through these images and is infectious.  Every image
is an open invitation to see afresh.

Thank you for that,
Dan
