The presentation centers on my disciplined effort to discover my personal style. The majority of the presentation will describe the radar I employ to scan for unusual photo opportunities via six subject areas listed below. If time permits I will list my recommended influences beyond the world of Photography: Painting, Poetry, Music, and Video Games.

1) —Juxtapositions: contrasting, complementary, and ironic.
2) —Blind Spots: using a phone camera and selfie stick
3) —The Uncommon Common
4) —Easter Eggs
5) —Everyday Oddities
6) —Humor

Relative to his ongoing efforts to learn the deep skills of photography, Steve describes himself as an, “old man in a hurry”.
