Bits of his site are archived: https://web.archive.org/web/20010331125831/http://www.deepturtle.ch/ but his other site is nowhere to be found. It?s sad that a lot of his work seems ?lost? - I?ve not been able to find him elsewhere and lost contact. He had a photo of an exquisite young woman on a tram in Zurich that was a masterpiece. One of Stephen?s tactics was to walk backwards in public places with the Summarit wide open and focused at 1m. As things came into view he photographed them. It sounds like it wouldn?t work but it did. It?s one great tragedy of the digital age - we see so much, but so often it doesn?t last. Marty
